Melbourne five piece, Humans As Animals are about to their release their debut single, Her Name (out July 18) taken from their EP, Eukaria set for release on August 1.

After six years of performing live, Humans As Animals are finally releasing their debut EP Eukaria which captures the diversity of the band’s influences; from Zappa’s tongue in-cheek compositions, Tom Waits’ darkness and the joy of an old Motown record.

Directed by Jerome Rault of Jerome Rault Media, the video to ‘Her Name’ follows the dilemmas of dating and relationships.

The interestingly husky yet smooth vocals and entertaining lyrics make this a song that will keep playing in your head long after the music has stopped.  “Our attraction to the opposite sex puts us in situations previously unimagined. It forces us to bend and mould to positions we never favoured in the past. The difference between love and a fling, casual sex, making love and copulation,” explains the band’s vocalist and multi instrumentalist Nicholas Mitchell.  “Love isn’t a battlefield, it’s a David Lynch circus….”

The explosive stoner-soul group will be celebrating with a launch show at The Evelyn Hotel on Thursday August 14. For more info on Humans As Animals, you can visit their Facebook page.
