No one expected the White Animals to ever make another record — including the White Animals. After all, the pioneering ’80s indie rockers — vocalist and rhythm guitarist Kevin Gray, vocalist and bassist Steve Boyd, lead guitarist Rich Parks and drummer Ray Crabtree — hadn’t released an album of new material in more than two decades. But the group had another album in them that just had to come out, and this year’s Star Time is arguably the best of their career. It’s certainly the best-sounding record they’ve ever released, and builds on their signature sonic recipe: part first-wave British Invasion power pop, part rockabilly, part Everly Brothers harmonies and part dub reggae, awash in reverb to give it a psychedelic patina.
