From the neverending left fields of experimental electronic music comes Untrained Animals: a spacey, glitchy, jazzy exercise in seeing how malleable the boundaries of the genre really are. In a similar vein to instrumental progressive metal bands like Scale the Summit or Animals as Leaders, but with synths and sequences rather than guitars and drums, Untrained Animals traipses over a technical landscape with deceptive ease, swirling and darting to unexpected new heights and in delightful new directions.
