Graig Markel, the musician and producer behind The Animals at Night, calls their sound Broken Soula blend of downtempo, rock and R & B that would fit nicely between Hot Chip and Head Like a Kite (who Markel produced) on a mixtape. Its pretty great stuff, from a wildly creative and largely unheralded local talent. Members of Modest Mouse and the Long Winters contributed percussive and multi-instrumental prowess on last years Cut to Chase Chorus and Fade, with sexy results. Check out their new jams at tonights show, a CD release for The Quits Stars Invisible By Day. Mal El Mer, with members formerly of the Divorce and Slender Means, open. RACHEL SHIMP
