The Trees 04:02
Honey I know - you want me inside But I can't move - my legs are tied I'm swaying in the breeze Scared now he calls - he calls my name And now it's dark - it's starting to rain I'm swaying in the breeze Funny to know - as time passes me by Counting the years like I was counting the days I fell into the trees People have come - people have gone And now he mourns - and then he moves on I'm swaying in the breeze all my limbs are full of leaves Funny to know - as time passes me by Counting the years - like I was counting the days I fell into the trees

Worth It 03:52
Strip all my feelings as I walk into the storm I get the sense that I'm drowning here One more step and I'm going under for sure I need to check that I'm breathing Can I ask is it worth it? To let the storm rage on. Can you say it was worth it? I let it all fall away All these walls crumble to the floor I need to get myself out here Let me - let me jump off Let this wind take me Can I ask is it worth it? To let the storm rage on Can you say it was worth it? I let it all fall away As you float away I didn't mean to complicate Set your sail

Swimming 03:04
We find ourselves here We find ourselves under water Slipping under the waves Time to make my great escape Got excited by waves That were coming to drown us all I've been dreaming for days Where three worlds collided And the rain comes down with crash Obliterate all sentiment It's all over once again Didn't even try to hold my breath We go swimming with the fish again Give myself into the green Only to find that I'm still breathing Underneath my skin is changing Separating the oxygen It's all over once again Didn't even try to hold my breath We go sinking down It's all over once again Didn't even try to hold my breath We go swimming with the fish again We go swimming down.

Lovely 03:49
A blue sky snow storm came rolling in I woke up with knives out playing in my head And I imagined the waves Waves high like mountains to wash the world away It's a clear sky now floating building debris Oh, didn't the birds look lovely flying away The birds were singing a perfect song "they'll be crawling into the ocean when the waves have come and gone" And I imagined the waves Oh, didn't the birds look lovely And now, we sail away with city And oh, didn't the birds look lovely Flying away.

about

Animalia is a solo artist that uses layered vocals, acoustic guitar, beats and electronica to create her music, offering an energetic and dark performance. She has been likened to Sinead O’Connor and Dolores O'Riordan for her strong vocals.

Residing in Toronto, Canada, this Tasmanian musician started her solo career as Animalia in January, 2012, and has since released two independent EP’s: “To the Waking, the Shaking and the Volatile” and “A Wave to Wash the World Away”.

The song “Unity” (off the first EP) appeared in the movie “Antiviral” by Brandon Cronenberg, which premiered at Cannes Film Festival 2012.

“A Wave to Wash the World Away” has been played on a range of Canadian College and Community radio stations and Australia’s Triple J Unearthed has the track “Swimming” on rotation.

June, 2013, saw Animalia’s first festival appearance at Toronto’s North by North East.

Animalia will be back in the studio later this year to record her first full-length album, which will be followed by a European tour.
