    This is a pretty solid album -- as authentic and true to its original influences as you will find. If you already own their first album, this is a worthy follow up. If you are looking for something fresh to complement your collection of Chic, Skyy, or Change albums, this will fit the bill. The only downside is that it's not particularly inspired or original.

    By the end of Animal Nature, Escort proves it’s gotten craftier and has found a bit more clarity, and they hit a nostalgic sweet spot that will never grow old.

    The band's touch with songcraft, as opposed to groove science, is less sure. But they do have a way with a cover.

    Inevitably, some of the studio tracks suffer by comparison; you can imagine Barbarians as an irresistible call to arms in a Brooklyn basement, but it falls a little flat here. But there’s nifty production work elsewhere.
