Accordingly, Not Animal isn't the album Margot intended to issue; instead, it's a compromise between the band's evolving sound and the label's desire for a marketable product. Yet despite the concessions that Margot & the Nuclear So and So's had to make, this sophomore record is hardly conventional. Not Animal takes an experimental approach to the band's chamber pop sound, which previously drew parallels to Sufjan Stevens and Arcade Fire.
