Family by Irish four-piece The Cast of Cheers was one of the first singles to really catch our ears at the start of this year, being an infectiously raucous slice of indie-rock that mined a similar vein to Howler or Spector.

Ahead of the release of their first proper debut album later in the year, the band are releasing Animals, another rousing, raucous monster of a track which nimbly hopscotches between delirious guitar loops, jackhammer synths and anthemic vocals to create a white knuckled rollercoaster of a ride in its sweet but succinct running time.

Watch and listen. The single is out on Monday. The album, Family, is out on June 18th via School Boy Error / Co-operative Music.
