CDM: What would your lives be like if you had never met each other?
POST ANIMAL: Not to avoid a direct answer, but it’s very difficult to imagine what life would be like if we’d never met. Some of us would probably be focused on the things we studied in school, maybe some still making music professionally, although I doubt anything that sounds like Post Animal. This band has been a dominant force in shaping how all of our lives look today. Wouldn’t want it any other way 🙂
CDM: In what ways do you think you have grown/changed personally since the band begun back in 2014?
POST ANIMAL: It has been a lot of years, so a lot has changed for all of us. We’ve certainly matured and found ways to focus our artistic efforts. We’ve also gotten better at communicating and listening, whether about the art we make, or our personal connections. In some ways, maturing has meant taking it a little easier on ourselves as well. Going where ideas take us and not fighting the current so much. We’re better at communicating with each other. We’re more open to each other’s ideas. We’re more secure with our roles in the band. The trust has strengthened. We say “I love you” a lot more. We’re more grateful.
CDM: How did you celebrate the band’s 10th birthday last year?
POST ANIMAL: I suppose our album artwork photo shoot was the 10th anniversary party. So in other words, we dressed as a band of knights, warriors, rangers, smiths, and jesters.
CDM: Where do you picture Post Animal in another ten years from now?
POST ANIMAL: Hopefully standing behind the door of our own trinket shop, in some tree-lined, mid-sized city with a comfortable climate. We bought the storefront outright, streams being good to us for those 10 years, and we open the shop doors whenever we please. Perhaps we take a group run or go for a dip in the morning before the shop opens. We close before dark, and leave plenty of time for a delicious meal.
