Passing cars gum rubber streaks. Neon plants swim like green seaweed to a deep rhythm of blues.
Red thyroid sunsets, flame in speckled chemistry. Pipes run off dark tubes. Erase into marks that pour the dye of darkness. Crystal comes together as silent as ink.
Newsprint thumbed through nicotine fingers. A white phosphorus raindrop dropped in the sky. And several white porcelain trays were rolled in by bumblebees. Their wings arranged with pictures out of the past. Favorite track: She Gone.

She Gone 04:17
She don’t have no time for perfection satisfaction leaves her dry She don’t like no computation She’ll never know exactly why She gone The skin of life is some razor blade Hello today and then good bye A trick of light was her bosom child She play the game and then she fly she gone She don’t have no time for reason A drop of wine in waterfalls She don’t have no time for tomorrow There she goes, in that moment Is she gone, in that moment ? She gone She don’t have no time for wintertime She turned a leaf from spring to fall She don’t have no time for a crooked city life She crave the light and that is all She don’t have no time for reason A drop of wine in waterfalls She don’t have no time for tomorrow There she goes, in that moment Is she gone, in that moment ? Here we are, in that moment Are we there, in the moment ? Was she there, in that moment She gone, is she gone ? She gone, is she gone ? Is she gone ? she gone

Not Napoleon 02:08
I had a good friend want to save the world Didn’t think he was able I didn’t think it would hurt No, no, no...Not Napoleon ! He had a sidekick want to take his place Put him on the map, I warned Your life will never be the same No, no, no...Not Napoleon ! And I threw a party Rounded up my friends Now the war is over I declared We got nothing left to defend No, no, no...Not Napoleon !

No Goodbye 02:50
One last breath of ocean air One last taste of anywhere A million miles a thousand years To fall in love head over heels One last ticket out of time One last late admission on my mind I’ll never say goodbye... No Goodbye... One last ripple one last crime One last cripple at the flip of a dime A million times a thousand tears To wash away the warrin’ years One last loser in this race One last late admission to your face I’ll never say goodbye No Goodbye...

Carry On 03:11
I watch the world as it falls It ain't so pretty after all And I’m addicted to the news And you’re addicted to the same old groove Carry on… carry on... Mother nature and her cavalry Flying naked through the galaxy Carry on… carry on… La la la… carry on… I watch the world as it crawls away A broken insect without wings Feelers out and bound to survive Something creepy for the gods to like Carry on… carry on La la la… carry on… Go carry on… Please carry on... I won’t resolve… I can’t resolve

So Long 02:21
It’s been so long Now comes my favorite light of day… I got getta outta dodge I got to leave this place I need a great escape I gotta change my space It’s been so long Now comes my favorite light of day Dawn is the time To make believe we’re goin’ away I gotta dig me a tunnel learn how to fly me a plane I’m gonna crash my ship against the waves Gonna build me my boat again It’s been so long Now comes my favorite light of day Dawn is the time To make believe we’re goin’ away Hey hey Time to pack our dreams away Today... Time to go our separate ways It’s been so long It’s been so long Now comes my favorite light of day Dawn is the time To make believe we’re goin’ away hahaha

A little bit of the devil A big chunk of the earth And a little primatology From the mother of dirt “...I believe it has been with the great Tree of Life, which fills with its dead and broken branches the crust of the earth...” - Charles Darwin When you’re feeling down Down in the ground Like a six feet under The battleground From a vent in the ocean To the heavens we make At peace with our minds And the promises we break When it rains it shines And we come together And I’m down on all fours As light as a feather Will I ever be a part of it? Will I ever be a part of it? I will never be a part of it Anymore When it rains it shines And we come together And I’m down on all fours As light as a feather Will I ever be a part of it? Will I ever be a part of it? I will never be a part of it… Anymore Anymore… ….Liquid sunshine

Potato Head 02:04
Once I was a major in the army Once I was a military man Once I was a faggot in the bushes Once I was an American Come play potato head with me Once I was a mashed potato Once I was a freedom fry Once I was a caterpillar Ready to turn and ready to try Come play potato head with me It’s the only thing i’ll ever be One potato two potato disco Three potato four potato beat Five potato six potato lover A billion dollars of obsolete! Come play potato head with me It’s the only thing i’ll ever be One potato two potato rumba Three potato four potato funk Five potato six potato country A billion dollars of phony fun Don’t you ever really want to Love me ? If you really really want to take me If you really really want to blow me away Don’t play potato head…. with me

My Family 03:42
I had a River You saw a bridge We had an argument And i don’t know what i did... Was it you was it me was it an old fashioned harmony Was it you was it me was it a fairy tale fantasy My family ! I had a vision, you saw a rug We got a kicthen full of coffee mugs I’ll take the sofa You can take the bed There be a closet full of monsters in my head Was it you was it me was it a (un)natural history Was it you was it me was it a lesson in biology My family ! I had a vision, I had a blast We’re on a mission to destroy the past We got a situation, it can’t last Come on... If you want an explanation There is a scientific equation If you need emancipation You got an excommunication Was it you was it me some old fashioned misery Was it you was it me was it a taste of eternity My family ! Down under poison Down under laughter Down under commotion In a pile of photographs Down under memory Out with the trash Down under Francis We had poetry, we had rhymes My family !

Lizards 04:44
And I will take you down to where the lizards sleep with roses And I will take you down to where serpents learn to fly And i will take you down to where my sins they kiss the clouds And I will take you down to where the devil strikes no poses Do you feel it, coming down ? Do you feel it, coming round ? And I will take you down to where darkness is the color of light And I will take you down to where the silence is way too loud And i will take you down to where nothing is the flavor of this life And i will take you down to where diseases would make you proud Do you feel it, coming down ? Do you feel it, coming round ? Dear Lizard….sleep with roses… I will take you down… sleep with roses… I will take you down…

Lullaby 01:42
You don’t call me anymore You don’t call me like before And when I hear your voice again It’s just an echo in my head ‘Cause You will never call me again Unless I raise you from the dead When all is cold and all is wrong No time to dream…but dream along

NOT YOUR ANIMAL are a Paris-based, independently-minded power combo - and transatlantic super group feat. David Rosane (David Rosane & The Zookeepers - USA) on vocals, Benjamin Beaulieu (Black Strobe - France) on drums, Jeremy Grasso (Dirt Sixteen Machine - France) on guitar & Ivan Rechard (Tita Nzebi, Tabasco Quintet - France) on bass and keys.

The Band covers the Americana Spectrum with a garage-punk/ecocore aesthetic.

They also have a gentle side.

The following has been said or written about the band, on both sides of the puddle:

NOUVELLE VAGUE
"Indépendant, dérangeant, et totalement irrévérencieux."

ROLLING STONE FRANCE
"Faire du bruit en regardant le monde s'éteindre. Que du bonheur." - Silvère Vincent

ROCK & FOLK
"Not Your Animal défend des hymnes Ignifuges et élégies de bord de route pour la fin du monde."

SOUL KITCHEN
"Comme un gosse de deux ans, ce groupe est dans sa période du non. Mais on lui dit un grand oui quand on écoute."
INTERVIEW

ABUS DANGEREUX
"Gros son, Grosse claque et Gros mensonge comme titre de ce réjouissant EP "Not Rock and Roll", mais qu'est ce que c'est ? Not Your Animal à découvrir absolument !"

CULTURES CO
"Ces musicos-là, c’est du solide, des barres à mine forgées à la poigne du live."

PARIS MOVE
“Un truc qui vous prend à la gorge et aux tripes, qui vous fait cogner le coeur et les neurones...”

LE DEBLOC NOT
"A dévorer tout cru. La voix de David Rosane, puissante mais faussement dandy."

LA MAGIC BOX
"Nouveau Combo de « formation » mais surtout de « classe » internationale"

PHILIPPE MAZIERE
“Digne des meilleurs groupes de Rock garage.”

PHILIPPE BRETONNIERE
“Billy Idol dans la peau de John Malkovitch. Du talent à l'état pur.”

LAURENT ROUSTAN
"Digne d'un Iggy au top. D'une richesse mélodique autre que le «un deux trois quatre» du rock'n'roll basique."

JASON ROBERTS
"Des chansons à la fois mordantes et poétiques qui réflètent toutes l'absurdité d'essayer d'aimer et de donner du sens à notre époque.
Le groupe pionnier du mouvement ecocore."

ROCK MADE IN FRANCE
"Une puissance d'écriture à l'image de l'Artwork de la pochette, une des meilleurs de l'année."

MUZZART
"Jamais bestial mais toujours mordant."

DAMIE CHAD
"Des mélodies jamais en sous-sol et superbement bien envoyées."

BUZZ ON WEB
"Un groupe en plein ascension qui sera certainement une des meilleures surprises de 2020."

NAWAKPOSSE
"De quoi terminer de fracasser le peu qu'il reste de ce monde."

JASON ROBERTS
"While the aesthetics of punk and hardcore were rooted in anger over class disparity and social injustice, ECOCORE is rooted in the existential reality of watching our world end all around us. In the face of global dysfunction, the long social suicide implicit in denial and inaction, what can we do? Well, we can make some noise. And we can dance. The 5 epic numbers off the band’s first EP, a mischievous « Not Rock And Roll » are equal parts Bite, equal parts Poetry. A difficult balance to achieve. In the end, the songs reflect the absurdity of trying to love, and manufacture meaning, in today’s world."
