Dublin indie-pop artist Cat Dowling has unveiled their new single “Animals” today.

The song, which can be heard below, is the title track of Dowling’s forthcoming studio album, which will be released on Forever In Financial Arrears Records (FIFA Records) on November 12. The 11-track album was co-produced by Dowling and Gerry Horan.

Dowling said this about the new song:

"I wrote Animals during a busy period of my life when to find those rare moments to write music meant I had to be a thief elsewhere. But it was these stolen moments that gave me oxygen and a beautiful almost supernatural energy.
'Animals' was written when everyone was sleeping. It started with the driving repetitive rhythm which had to be restrained so as not to wake a soul. It thus became hypnotic. It starts as minor and ends up major. It's about the major and minor of life and of love and the constant pull in everything between major and minor and the light and the dark. It's a song ultimately of passion, wildness, sensuality and love."

Pre-orders for Animals, which is the follow-up to Dowling’s 2013 studio album The Believer, can be made here.
