Anima Rising

LP version. That Petrol Emotion were one of a kind; a myriad of influences, a back-catalog stuffed with brilliant songs, a group blessed with gifted songwriters, a killer live act, and, above all, a bunch a friends who were (and still remain) fans of music. Now four members of the final line-up (Ciaran McLaughlin, Raymond Gorman, Brendan Kelly, and Damian O'Neill) have returned with a new sound as The Everlasting Yeah. The emphasis is on the collective - this time the whole tribe sings. Since 2013 they have been playing sporadic but ecstatically received gigs in London, Oxford, and Glasgow. In 2014 and '15 they recorded their debut album, Anima Rising. Of course, there are echoes of the Petrols' signature sound in the album; however, this is very much an upgrade on the classic template of melody-harmony-beat-noise - some call it keltic kosmische music.
