DanimaL drops raw, honest new track that hit home on “PTSD”

DanimaL is back with a new single, "PTSD," in which Trevor dives deep into the darkness of his mental health and experiences with others. Leave it to this most resilient of survivors to provide such a raw, unflinching ode to struggle, growth, and the fight to reclaim oneself in the wake of life.

The production is classic old-school hip-hop, dusty and thumping, providing the track an authentic backbone for the story it tells. Every lyric feels heavy, every verse a reflection of lived experiences that listeners may recognize as painfully familiar, or strangely soothing.

"PTSD" is an invitation, more than a song. DanimaL hopes that listeners hear a part of their own journey reflected in the music. If it can help someone in any capacity, I’m happy, he says of the track, which he explains is as much about connection as expression.

Cleaned up by the professionals, "PTSD" combines clarity with an emotional honesty that demands nothing less than your attention. There is no artifice here, just a voice, a beat, and the stories that shape us.
