ANIMAL KINGDOM – The Looking Away

The Looking Away opens with the mellow ‘The Wave’. It’s a smooth and catchy start to the new album by Animal Kingdom.

Premier culture platform The Playground is pretty renowned for its meticulous event curation and promotion, but nothing could have prepared me for the sublime KOKO takeover on Saturday night.
