Seattle trio the Gods Themselves are reaching the apex of an upward trajectory that began in 2014 with their self-titled debut. Their knack for huge, honkin’ hooks that exude toughness and hedonism has never wavered over their three increasingly polished albums. Pink Noise and Be My Animal find the Gods Themselves—vocalist/guitarist Astra Elane, baritone guitarist/vocalist Dustin Patterson, and drummer Collin O’Meara—striving for commercial success without compromising integrity.
