About
Obscure Animals is an alternative rock band from Austin, Texas, blending midwest emo and post-hardcore influences into a raw, emotionally charged sound. Formed in 2021, the group quickly made waves with their debut EP The Intervention, followed by their first full-length album Picking Berries on the Way to the Apocalypse in 2022 — a record praised for its introspective lyrics and dynamic sonic shifts. Their upcoming album, The Dismissive Acknowledgement of a Mutual Existence, is set for release on July 4, 2025, promising another cathartic chapter in the band's evolving journey.
