Press

"Minimal electric guitar prickles through, washed over with brooding cello. It's expansive but also reserved, gaining a sense of size with layering parts. It's challenging but accessible"

— Jordan Lawrence, Independent Weekly

“Graceful chamber folk with a wandering tableau of cello, double bass and reverberating piano.”

— Corbie Hill, Independent Weekly

““Animal Alphabet has gained notoriety playing a dark, indie chamber rock. This four piece band from Chapel Hill stands out due to their unique range of influences, combining elements of jazz, pop, and classical music... Piano and guitar lay the foundation for Animal Alphabet's sound, but what really defines it are the sweeping strings and distinctive voice of lead singer Simon McGorman.””

— Vinyl Records Presents

“Indeed, the four members blended very well with each other while still being individually audible. Strings overlapped layers of rich four-part harmonies and back again, like the waves of an ocean, all the while surrounding Mr. McGorman's operatic vocals.”

— Justin Ellis, examiner.com

“The members of Animal Alphabet pull together various styles and stringed instruments to create an end product that is well-developed and spans multiple genres.”

— Elizabeth Byrum, The Daily Tar Heel Diversions
