POST ANIMAL RELEASES NEW ALBUM IRON, MADE WITH JOE KEERY
July 25, 2025
Today Post Animal release their amazing new album IRON – the first album made with original band member Djo / Joe Keery in 7+ years. When Post Animal began recording IRON, it was the first time all six original members were in the studio together for nearly a decade. In 2017, Joe Keery left the band to focus on acting as Stranger Things began to take off, and has since made music under the moniker Djo. Three band members also relocated away from Chicago, while they all explored other projects and toured with other friends. But in 2024, the six musicians started right back up at the beginning, rediscovering that uncompromising closeness of connection they all shared. The product of a few straight weeks together in the middle of the woods in Indiana, IRON not only finds Post Animal reunited with Keery, but is the embodiment of their renewed and ironclad connection.
With each band member bringing in song ideas, and taking turns on lead vocals, IRON was written and produced by the five members of Post Animal and Keery. It was engineered by Dalton Allison & Charles Glanders, and mixed by DJO co-producer Adam Thein & Allison. “This record felt like a revitalization of our friendships and our band,” Hirshland says. “We always work collaboratively, but it’s amazing how reintroducing Joe into the mix brought back that dynamic from 2017.”
