Album Notes

A Decent Animal is a swaggering atmospheric rock trio from Charleston, SC recently relocated to San Francisco, CA. ADA was formed by long time band mates J.K.Nicholson and R.G.Weld. After and enlightening recording experience at Charlotte, NC\'s Sioux-Sioux Studio the duo added G.P.Baerreis and immediately began writing new material. The songs began telling longer stories with sophisticated instrumentation. Soon they would solidify their collaborative writing style, developing a genuinely unique sound. ADA has never felt like it belonged to a specific genre allowing them the freedom to write songs that are fiercely personal. With a well established sound in place ADA took to the highway touring extensively over the past year and sharing the stage with many great local and national acts like Band of Horses, Modest Mouse, Love as Laughter, Lake Trout, Lindsay Holler, Slowrunner and many more. Nicholson\'s vocals are rugged yet have a delicacy that when paired with Weld and Baerreis\' harmonies create a powerfully haunting sound. Live, the three play as many as six instruments at a given time keeping their audience visually engaged with a contagious energy. Find a decent animal and love it.
