Album DescriptionIn their seventh year of existence, Red Animal War is back with their fourth full-length of biting world commentary, rhythmic cannonades, and catchy, unforgettable choruses. After five East Coast, two Midwest, and three European tours the post-punk funk battalion returns with a twelve-song collection of new and old recordings. Rare compilation and 7" songs from over the bands history are coupled with six freshly recorded songs with J. Robbins (Against Me!, Dismemberment Plan, Hey Mercedes), Adam Scheuermann (Coldplay-assistant engineer), Matt Barnhart, and others at the helm. Seven Year War features indications of a darker, more mature sound with the distinctively R.A.W. post-punk funk sound of the band. Album Trivia: Two songs from Seven Year War were recorded at The Hit Factory NYC (U2, John Lennon, Sting, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Biggie Smalls, Paul Simon, 50 Cent). The album is an enhanced CD featuring 9 music videos, including videos directed by Travis Kopach (Matchbook Romance, Straylight Run, Koufax). Many of the intricate photos used in the album artwork were actually accidents due to a "camera problem" on a European Red Animal War tour. The band did not discover the pleasant result until developing the film. The double exposures turned out to create beautifully unique photos that combine extremely different spans of time and space into unified photos.
