♫♪  Banal Anml - “Addicted To Comfort”

Banal Anml’s here y’all, and he ain’t takin no shit from nobody!! Actually, he’s a pretty laid back guy, so if you were to give him shit, he’d more than likely stand there politely and try to see your side of the story. But I bet you’d shut your shit-spewing mouth once “Addicted to Comfort” came on. Hell, I’d bet you a million dollars that’d happen! Wait, I don’t have a million dollars. Hey Common, can I borrow a (million) dollar(s)?

Predictions and begging aside, “Addicted to Comfort” is a tiny taste of the auditory pleasures that can be heard on Banal Anml’s newest tape I did it for the sound, released last week on the consistently diverse Chicago based Solid Melts. To me, “Addicted To Comfort” feels like what would’ve played during that ritualistic #SEX scene in Eyes Wide Shut if the cult members had cut loose a little and quit being SO dramatic. The rest of the tape mixes things up heavily, going from drones and moans to bleeps and bloops and blips to Velvet Underground-esque vocals and guitars to more beat-driven and synth laden tracks. Check out the stream of “Robot Safari” if you don’t believe me. That one should shut your shit-spewing mouth, too!
