Animals

Animals is the TTNG’s first full length album, released October 13, 2008 through Big Scary Monsters in the UK and through Sargent House in the US. The track listing in the US and UK are different; however, this page displays the UK track list. This album features Stuart Smith on lead vocals instead of Henry Tremaine.

The songs names are named after animals (the album name reflects this). In an interview with audioscribbler, Stuart Smith explained the reason for the song names:

I wish the whole animals thing came about for some clever reason, but as with most things it was born out of necessity. We simply couldn’t keep calling the new songs (in their various states of completion) ‘New Song 1’, ‘New Song 2’ etc. We had to give them a ‘temporary’ name and for whatever reason animals are what first sprang to mind. The plan was always to come up with proper names, but when it came down to it we thought it would be silly to start calling them something different."

On October 5, 2018, TTNG released Animals Acoustic, an acoustic imagining of this album, through Sargent House.
