Born in Lyon in 2014, Animali is the stage name given to the duo formed by Julien Jussey and Benjamin Richardier. Originally Influenced by low-fi, neo-punk productions while dreaming itself as a Pop act, Animali published a first EP named ‘’The spark and three other poorly-produced pieces of music’’ (2014), followed by a sophomore EP titled ‘’This Plane's Going Down, Are We All Gonna Die?’’ (2015). After three years of absence, Animali are now moving away from their early influences, embracing a more intimate musical style. ‘’Mary D. Kay’’, Animali's first studio album, produced by Mikrokosm will be released in 2020 by Archipel. The 1st single ''Genetic Bomb'' was released on 13. Dec. 2019. The 2nd single ''Able Archer'' was released on 31 JAN 2020. The 3rd single ''The Acrobats'' was released on 13 March 2020. The 4th single ''Connie & Blyde Part 1'' is released on 10 April 2020. Connie and Blyde is the story of a runaway that ends badly. Two beings who love each other and seek to escape an established order. The lyrics evocate the pleasure of seeing this order falter, the romantic urge to die together.
