.. "Roots rock has it's favorites like Neil Young, Jeff Buckley, and the Old 97s, but lately the genre has been brandishing a more polished look and melodic sound which J. Jones, the sole member of Animal Sound, has honed quite impressively. Animal Sounds latest EP, In The Forests Of The United States from Beaten Path Records, sounds like a record that most people would expect from a major label. The husky baritone register of Jones’ voice spears through the rattling strokes of the acoustic guitar slicing with smooth shears while flanked by jangly tambourine beats. The melodic bonding creates a Gypsy vibe embedded in roots rock acoustics........Jones' lyrics are often profound and metaphorical like in “The Valley Below” when he perceives, “I’ve got a thousand miles / I’ve got a hundred names / I walk these footprints and they’re all the same / They’re all the same / Below, we go.” Other such profound lyrics include “Oh this life / No wrong, no right… Blue sky now black” from “The View, ” and from “In The Woods” where he alludes, “Watch him cool off the Sun.” Jones makes observations poignant about life, and sometimes the lyrics are self-reflective like in “New Territory” when he declares, “I could see us here / Right to the end / Sometimes it rattles the earth / It shakes the nerves / But I could see us here / Until the end.” The lyrics are personable, and yet somewhere relatable to other peoples lives with verses that speak of their woes.."..
(taken from recent review on www.ultimate-guitar.com)
.. "With production heavy on reverb and a passionate howl that echoes earnestly at every chorus, Jones creates an atmosphere perfectly in tune with his record's title. Nothing but guitar and tambourine accompany Jones, and he places himself utterly alone, singing his soul for only the surrounding wildlife to hear. Not to say he sounds particularly happy about this; on the contrary, the setting of In the Forests of the United States suggests complete and total isolation. From this context, Jones delivers an album of songs directly from his comfort zone, and though Jones never deviates from his beaten path musically, his In the Forests of the United States is a pretty darn good record."..
(from a staff member at Sputnikmusic.com)
.. "Tracks like “The Valley Below” and “In the Woods” are ledged in vintage rock herbals and bluesy intonations....The slender pickings of the guitar strings drifting along “A Dog’s Life” and “The Colors There” create a dreamy atmospheric and peaks in the center of “The Colors There"..

.. "Your favorites won’t depend on the songs, just the order in which you heard them......At the very least it should leave you intrigued to find out what else Animal Sounds has to offer."..
