Mull Historical Society

Animal Cannabus

Label: Rough Trade Release Date: 09/07/2001

562
afrankowski by Andy Frankowski August 2nd, 2001

Full of energy and catchy as hell, ”Animal Cannabus” by Mull Historical Society is a outstanding follow-up to 'I Tried.'

The Scottish two- piece, led by muli-instrumentalist and vocalist Colin McIntyre, create songs that really can’t be place under one musical label. When you hear a song like this you’ll know immediately who the artist is.

With their most rocking song to date it starts with a sea of keyboard noise, bells and unique effects. You enter into a maze of melodies, sounds, and hooks leaving your mind unable to comprehend what it just heard. With ”Animal Cannabus” the sound of confusion never sounded so good.

Colin has a talent for writing catchy melodies and this single deserves to be their breakout hit. His voice, as with their band name, may leave your head spinning but once you get used to it this is one society you’d like to join.
