Visionary drummer, producer and rapper Kassa Overall released his album ANIMALS in 2023 on Warp Records. ANIMALS followed Kassa's two self-released, critically acclaimed albums, and features an all-star array of guests from Kassa's community including Ishmael Butler of Shabazz Palaces, Francis and the Lights, Lil B, Wiki, Danny Brown, Laura Mvula, Vijay Iyer, and Tomoki Sanders.

"ANIMALS continues seamlessly, using a raft of guest musicians and rappers, its rhythms shuttling between drum kit and electronica...an album of real artistry." ★★★★ - The Observer

"A multifaceted sound...The album's vigorous jazz, rap and soul blends live instruments with electronic drum tracks." - The New York Times

"Kassa's back again, leading his own band and doing what he always does - pushing musical boundaries and finding new ways to express himself through a unique blend of experimental hip-hop-infused jazz." - NPR

"It's very rare that the jazz guys get the hip hop thing right, and Kassa Overall has done it. The Roots did it back in the day, A Tribe Called Quest did it, DOOM, Madlib, Dilla, Kassa." - Gilles Peterson on BBC 6Music

"A bold career highlight, that's dizzyingly inventive on the surface, with a powerful, emotional undertow." ★★★★ - MOJO

"A meticulously crafted record" - UNCUT
