Recorded over the course of 2011 with local Austin luminary Danny Reisch in their Lone Star State hometown and mixed by indie veteran Peter Katis from his studio in Bridgeport, CT, this record relishes in its statement that “no strings or glockenspiels were touched during the making of this album", making it clear that Animal Joy is in no way an extension of Shearwater's celebrated "Island Arc" trilogy comprised of 2006's Palo Santo, 2008's Rook and 2010's The Golden Archipelago.
