There’s no better way to launch a new Dance collaboration and a new single than to shoot straight into the Homegrown Charts Top 10. Sitting alongside the likes of Picture This, Dermot Kennedy, and Imelda May ANIM are off to such a strong start!
ANIM’s Count To Ten began with a transcendental experience at the bohemian arts festival, Burning Man. In the middle of the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, Darren Rice set out at 5am with his camera to capture a sunrise he would never forget. He likened it to a festival on the moon, the setting was spectacular and there was just a handful of others present. As they sat immersed in the splendour & shade of a giant pink unicorn-shaped vehicle, someone played a beautiful jazzy acoustic track that seemed so poignant, so perfect.
Rice had an overwhelming affinity with its heart and soul, a fellow reveller was even moved to tears by the raw beauty. Luckily for Rice, he was recording all of this on video and when a few days later he found himself still humming the melody, its contagious effect got him thinking about how this tune might work on a heaving dancefloor.
We cannot wait to dance to this absolute TUNE when clubs re-open.
