Animal Prince

Animal Prince is the retro-pop project from singer-violinist Fae Nageon de Lestang and percussionist Grant McLeod. Fae’s vocals are a captivating instrument, drawing the listener into a landscape that’s playful yet polished, soulful but never self-serious, layered with string arrangements, synth grooves, hooks, harmonies and the occasional actual birdsong. Borrowing from bossa nova, fairy folk, yacht rock and chamber pop, Animal Prince would be at home on a mix with Caroline Polacheck, Emily King, or Feist, but the sound is uniquely their own: tender, danceable and delightfully feral.
