Weak Trees wrote “Animal” after getting properly lost in a snowstorm, drunk, and then getting rescued by their dog Elvis. That’s the real story, and you can tell they meant every word of this one.
The whole thing started when one of them wandered off to find kindling during a camping trip, got turned around in heavy snow, and couldn’t find his way back. Enter Elvis, who tracked him down and led him to safety. I like how they kept it straightforward. No need to dress up a story that already works. They’re clearly dog people writing a dog song, and they dedicated it to all the animals that have been part of their adventures—the ones still around and the ones they’ve lost.
The track has that rough-edged warmth you’d expect from a band named after struggling trees, and they’re not trying to write a radio hit here, this is just a bunch of guys who love their dogs and wanted to put that on record and you should definitely check out more from Weak Trees by following them on their social media platforms down below.
