The Line Of Best Fit
What makes Animal such a success is the devotion that Laura Marling and Mike Lindsay have put into the project. It is the sound of two highly accomplished artists throwing away what they know and completely giving into play, running wild with “childlike and grotesque” abandon

Under The Radar
Animal brings to bear the promise of the duo’s earliest work and the certainty that any word of future editions will elicit an appropriately Pavlovian response

The Irish Times
At all times, there is a sense that each song is teetering on the edge of something delightfully weird, while every listen reveals something new. A surprising, strange but deeply satisfying collection

Hopefully, Marling and Lindsay will find enough time for a third LUMP instalment – the chemistry that they produce is far too good to be relegated to a side-project

Overall the album is an earnest investigation of Psychoanalysis with lyrics and vignettes that land a punch. A necessary addition to Laura Marling’s fans collection and an engaging listen for non-fans

Loud And Quiet
Perhaps the only reason LUMP work so well is because of their push-pull process: a creative speed date less concerned with maintaining a spark, and more about capturing a little bit of magic
