Former Kid Confucius drummer Bart Denaro has moved on with his brand new outfit Briscoe. The Sydney-based six-piece are giving us a taste of their sound with the cruisy new single “Animal.”

The track doesn’t officially drop until February 16, but this film clip lets us listen to it early. It’s a gorgeous slow-burning number which is perfect for post-hangover Sundays. And there’s a cat in it, which we all know makes any internet video much cooler. “Animal” is the first cut to come from Briscoe’s debut album Friends Ago, which will hit stores in May.

If you like what you hear you can catch Briscoe on their single launch tour, which kicks off in their home town this week. See them at the following East Coast venues this month and the next.

16 February 2012 – GoodGod Small Club, Sydney (with The Ray Mann Three)
18 February 2012 – Phoenix Bar, Canberra (with Waterford and Tales In Space)
3 March 2012 – The Great Northern, Newcastle (with The Fearless Vampire Killers and The Owls)
