Heartland by Animal Soup
"I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Susann
Coming up the hill"
Written between 2020 and 2022, and recorded in 2023, Heartland is Animal Soup's take on modern Americana. Between vignettes of the American experience and dystopian depictions of the isolation that clouds modern society, the new Animal Soup brings you commentary on America in the 2020s. While musically steeped in the band’s typical blend of progressive rock, pop, and a variety of other genres, the lyrics are inspired by the writers of classic American folklore such as Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, and Ralph Ellison.
Join Susanna and the American Angel as they traverse through the strange lands of modern America.
