Sharleen Spiteri: ilikemusic because... it takes me to places that life can't
Leon Jean-Marie: ilikemusic because... It transcends. It really creates emotion with someone. That feeling it gives you, it goes through boundaries. To create something, it just breaks through all the walls. When you connect with a song, that is it, that is magic isn't it?
Alicia Keys: ilikemusic because... it makes you feel!
Jamie, Ontario: ilikemusic because... it makes me different from my friends but connects me to a whole world of other people.
Tom Baxter: ilikemusic because... It makes you feel alive more than anything else.
dawn Leonetti: ilikemusic because... it makes me spin, giggle and bubble up - kinda my own Rice Crispies cereal ("snap, crackle, pop") in the audio form...
Oliver, Young Knives: ilikemusic because... It evokes a mood and a feeling of when you last heard the track.
Kai, Mystery Jets: ilikemusic because... Music makes me smile.
Patrick: ilikemusic because... Music came from the universe...always finding a way into societies from the beginning of time. I imagine it has always been out there waiting for us to show up. I'm so glad we made it! 
Already tipped to be one of the year's major breaking bands, London quartet Animal Kingdom follow their recent praise with the release of the single Tin Man available from July 6th 2009 on Warner Bros. Records. Animal Kingdom's debut album, title to be confirmed, will follow in September.
Recorded in Seattle's Electrokitty Studios with producer Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, The Shins, Les Savy Fav), Tin Man provides a snapshot of Animal Kingdom's talents with its otherworldly, upbeat melodies offset by the yearning melancholy of the lyrics. Available on CD and download formats, Tin Man is Animal Kingdom's full debut following the limited edition release of Chalk Stars.
Developed over a six week period during which the band were living together, Animal Kingdom's debut album ranges from the delicately crafted, emotive pop of the Chalk Stars to the eerie flow of Two By Two that features Sauberlich's vocals floating in the air like the voice of an imaginary friend. But the album is also rich on versatility; the likes of Good Morning Mr. Magpie, Silence Summons You and Into The Sea share a cohesive, cinematic atmosphere but each song represents a unique statement.
Animal Kingdom could be loosely compared to the likes of Mercury Rev, The Cure, The Flaming Lips, Smashing Pumpkins and Grandaddy, but they remain a proposition in which their own individual sound shines through. Their summer touring plan includes festival appearances and dates with Silversun Pickups:
June 2009
27th - Nottingham, Rescue Rooms
28th - Bristol, Thekla
30th - Birmingham, O2 Academy
July 2009
