''Animal,' the new album by Ryan Adams, drops early next year

Ryan Adams' new album 'Animal' is slated for February 12 on his own PAX-AM label. The first single, "Amethyst", is out now, and the album is available to pre-order on vinyl, CD and digital.

Animal is an almost entirely solo record. Adams played drums, bass, guitars, piano, synths, percussion and harmonica himself, and wrote every song. He produced and mixed the album with Dror Mohar, who also engineered it.

Longtime friend Daniel Clarke adds synths to "Jesus Christ", "Animal" and "Jesus H", and Hammond B3 to "Soon", where J.C. Khul's saxophone carries the coda.

Animal follows a prolific run of PAX-AM releases and the 25th-anniversary re-imagination of his debut Heartbreaker in 2025. Fans can expect a run of exclusive vinyl variants and bundles at ryanadamsanimal.com, with further singles and visuals to come before release.
