SXSW 2022: Ceramic Animal

KGSR/Austin City Limits Radio has put out a partial list of the bands playing their morning shows.  Most of them we know.  This band is on the show and they are also playing the Flood Magazine day party at Mohawk on Wednesday.  

Ceramic Animal is a band made up of three brothers and two of their friends from Doylestown, Pennsylvania.  They self-released 3 albums.  From their bio:

Their records sold well on tour and online, their shows sold out, and their songs found their way onto streaming playlists that introduced them to new fans young and old—teenagers who loved the band’s music and the parents who recognized the band’s influences. Sadly, their father didn’t get to witness their accomplishments: Their greatest influence as well as their biggest fan died shortly before they released their third album. 

Dan Auerbach discovered their music and came on board to produce their latest album.   Here's how their bio describes the sound:

Sweet Unknown is their most mature, their most imaginative, their most daring to date, colliding the glitter-stomp of T. Rex, the rock-and-roll decadence of any-period David Bowie, and the extravagant melodicism of Todd Rundgren.


This song is really good. More Americana than glam.   For the T. Rex sound check out "Tangled".
