When Post Animal stepped into the studio for their new album Iron, it was the first time all six original members were in the studio together for nearly a decade. Three band members had recently relocated away from Chicago, not to mention Joe Keery having left the band in 2017 to focus on acting. In the end they started right back up at the beginning, rediscovering that uncompromising closeness of connection they all shared from those endless hours spent in practice spaces and the late-night diner runs that follow.

THREADS OF ETERNITY brings together two distinguished composers, Lili Boulanger and Unsuk Chin, each exhibiting fierce artistry and pushing the possibilities of orchestral sound. Boulanger’s D’un matin de Printemps and D’un soir triste express the contrasting emotions of joy and sadness in life, while Psaume CXXIX and Vieille prière bouddhique are reflections of a spiritual and ethereal world. Inspired by Beethoven, Chin’s subito con forza evokes striking energy with its brief quotes and innovative reconfigurations from Beethoven’s music, providing a perfect contrast and supplement to Boulanger’s lyricism. These works are given a resounding performance by the Rutgers Symphony Orchestra, an advanced and cutting-edge university ensemble advocating for underrepresented music and interdisciplinary collaborations.

Sometimes Late at Night is a slow-burning country-soul gem, originally recorded in 1973 and remastered for its 2025 reissue, marking its first release on CD.

Gene Swann’s piano, Hal Ruggs’ steel guitar, Tommie Williams’ fiddle, and Rodd Smarr’s harmonica create a warm, authentic sound, enriched by the Mac Backsup Group’s Dobro and Ace Sound Seventys’ backing vocals. Once a rare collector’s item, this album captures a quiet, revolutionary spirit that resonates like a summer storm, now ready to be rediscovered.
