Post Animal - Iron Expansion Pack [Vinyl 7" Silver]

The Iron Expansion Pack is made up of two songs that Post Animal had left out, now reissued on a silver 45 for those who wanted more from this reunion.

Iron was already a great story before the bonus tracks. The 2025 album marked the first time all six original members had been in the studio together in nearly a decade, including Joe Keery, who left in 2017 when Stranger Things and then his Djo project took him elsewhere. They gave themselves thirty days straight in a room together, wrote and performed everything collectively, and came out with a record that feels less like a comeback and more like a friendship resuming mid-sentence. Then they spent the year opening for sold-out shows for Djo, which is either poetic or extremely practical depending on how you look at it.

Leave Overjoyed and Something Drive both grew out of those original Iron sessions, and neither sounds like filler that didn't make the cut. The band's trick has always been to layer expansive psychedelic rock over melodies strong enough to survive, and both tracks lean toward the shaggier, exploratory side of that, which is probably why they didn't quite fit the album's shape.

Two songs, a silver 45, and proof that they had more than ten in them.
