Animals As Leaders: Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes on Taking the Maximalist 'More Is More' Approach
November 18, 2021
Instrumental trio Animals As Leaders released their third album as a trio on Thursday, November 18th, 2021. Composer and guitarist Javier Reyes has also composed music for the fictional band The Relentless, featuring Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides, and contributed heavily to Tosin Abasi's solo work.
In an interview with Guitar World, Abasi and Reyes discussed their maximalist approach to music, which they describe as "more is more." They explained that they are not afraid to experiment with different sounds and techniques, and that they believe that there is no limit to how much music can be created.
This approach is evident on their new album, which features a wide range of sounds, from heavy metal to jazz to electronica. The album also features guest appearances from several other musicians, including bassist Stephen Bruner of Thundercat and drummer Matt Garstka of Animals As Leaders.
