--- title: "Art Pop & Baroque Pop Wildlife & Soundtracks (13 Species) | AnimalTracks.wiki" description: "Explore all 13 animals paired with Art Pop & Baroque Pop musical subculture, sister artists, and biological superpowers." image: "https://animaltracks.wiki/icon-512.png" --- # Art Pop & Baroque Pop Wildlife & Musical Subculture > Dramatic string arrangements, eccentric theatrical vocals, and adventurous avant-garde song structures. **Similar Artists**: Kate Bush, Björk, Sufjan Stevens, Fiona Apple, St. Vincent, Julia Holter - **Species Count**: 13 Curated Creatures - **Explore Web**: [Interactive vibe player & gallery](https://animaltracks.wiki/vibes/art-pop-baroque-pop/) ## Species Aligned With Art Pop & Baroque Pop - [African Lion](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/african-lion/) (*Panthera leo*) - **Musical Match**: Florence + The Machine, "Shake It Out" - **Biological Rationale**: Florence Welch's huge, open-throated voice, for a cat whose roar hits about 114 decibels from a few feet away and can be heard up to three miles off. - **Superpower**: Deep-throated 114-decibel square vocal cords that project territorial warning roars across three miles of open savanna. - [Dhole](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/dhole/) (*Cuon alpinus*) - **Musical Match**: Holly Herndon, "Frontier" - **Biological Rationale**: Dholes whistle when they hunt together, and a dhole's whistle is distinct enough to identify individual animals. Holly Herndon's Frontier is built from a group of separate voices calling back and forth, each one recognisable inside the crowd. - **Superpower**: Hunting as a pack, it can catch prey over 10 times its own body weight - [Elk](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/elk/) (*Cervus canadensis*) - **Musical Match**: Andrew Bird, "Oh No" - **Biological Rationale**: Spectrograms suggest a bull elk's bugle holds two sounds at once, a low tone averaging 145 Hz and a higher one averaging 1,426 Hz. Andrew Bird is known for whistling high, clear lines over his own violin and voice. - **Superpower**: A bugle made of two sound sources at once - [European Hare](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/european-hare/) (*Lepus europaeus*) - **Musical Match**: Kate Bush, "Hounds of Love" - **Biological Rationale**: Faced with a predator, a European hare runs, and can dodge and change direction quickly. Hounds of Love is a song about fleeing a chase, driven by pounding drums that never let up. - **Superpower**: Leverets are born furred and well developed, then spread over a moderately wide area to avoid predation on the whole litter - [Gelada](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/gelada/) (*Theropithecus gelada*) - **Musical Match**: Jacob Collier, "In My Room" - **Biological Rationale**: Jacob Collier stacks his own voice into dense layered harmonies, for a monkey with more than 30 different vocalizations that it combines into sequences. - **Superpower**: Opposable-finger precision grazing, a lip-flip no other primate can perform, and cliff-ledge sleeping refuges - [Great Blue Heron](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/great-blue-heron/) (*Ardea herodias*) - **Musical Match**: Phil Collins, "In the Air Tonight" - **Biological Rationale**: A great blue heron mostly stands still or walks very slowly in shallow water, then strikes with a rapid thrust of its bill. "In the Air Tonight" holds back the same way, a sparse drum machine and a waiting voice until the drums finally crash in. - **Superpower**: Waits for fish to swim near, then strikes with a rapid thrust of its bill - [Narwhal](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/narwhal/) (*Monodon monoceros*) - **Musical Match**: Björk, "Hyperballad" - **Biological Rationale**: Björk's layered electronics and gliding vocal sweeps fit a whale whose clicks typically run 12 to 20 kHz and whose whistles slide from 300 Hz to 10 kHz. - **Superpower**: Spiral Tusk Up to 9.8 Feet & 1,500-Meter, 25-Minute Dives - [Nile Tilapia](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/nile-tilapia/) (*Oreochromis niloticus*) - **Musical Match**: Camille, "Ta douleur" - **Biological Rationale**: A Nile tilapia mother holds up to 200 eggs in her mouth, and the larvae hatch there and stay until their yolk sacs run out. Camille made Ta douleur almost entirely with her mouth and body: the beat, the bass and the backing are all her own voice. - **Superpower**: Mouthbrooding: the female carries up to 200 eggs in her mouth until the larvae have absorbed their yolk sacs. - [North Island Brown Kiwi](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/north-island-brown-kiwi/) (*Apteryx mantelli*) - **Musical Match**: Björk, "Where Is the Line" - **Biological Rationale**: A kiwi snuffles audibly as it hunts, a sound that may come from a valve behind its nostrils. Björk built Medúlla almost entirely from voices and breath, and on Where Is the Line the beat itself is breathed and beatboxed. - **Superpower**: Nostrils near the tip of a long, curved bill - [Satin Bowerbird](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/satin-bowerbird/) (*Ptilonorhynchus violaceus*) - **Musical Match**: Kate Bush, "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)" - **Biological Rationale**: Theatrical vocal grandeur and avant-garde synth textures, for a male whose courtship song mixes mechanical-sounding buzzes and rattles with calls copied from other species, and whose mating success is tied to how accurately he copies them. - **Superpower**: Builds a twin-walled stick avenue bower and decorates it with blue objects to attract females. - [Siamese Fighting Fish](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/siamese-fighting-fish/) (*Betta splendens*) - **Musical Match**: Imogen Heap, "Hide and Seek" - **Biological Rationale**: A betta's labyrinth organ, the folded chambers above its gills that let it breathe air, also makes the air bubbles for the male's nest. "Hide and Seek" is built from one source the same way: Imogen Heap's own voice, run through a harmoniser, is the whole arrangement. - **Superpower**: Breathes air through a labyrinth organ above its gills - [Silverfish](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/silverfish/) (*Lepisma saccharinum*) - **Musical Match**: Laurie Anderson, "O Superman" - **Biological Rationale**: One looped syllable that keeps repeating for over eight minutes, for an insect that keeps molting as an adult and has been recorded molting 25 to 66 times in a lifespan. - **Superpower**: Keeps molting as an adult and can go up to a year without food - [Vogelkop Bowerbird](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/vogelkop-bowerbird/) (*Amblyornis inornata*) - **Musical Match**: Sufjan Stevens, "Mystery of Love" - **Biological Rationale**: Elaborate acoustic fingerpicking, cascading woodwind flourishes and meticulous baroque craftsmanship, for a bird that is generally brown while its close relatives wear erectile crests of brilliant orange or yellow, and puts its decoration into a structure it builds instead. - **Superpower**: Builds a different bower style depending on population, which may be a partly learned tradition passed down like a human art style. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://animaltracks.wiki/vibes/art-pop-baroque-pop/#collection", "name": "Art Pop & Baroque Pop Creatures", "description": "Explore all 13 animals paired with Art Pop & Baroque Pop musical subculture, sister artists, and biological superpowers.", "url": "https://animaltracks.wiki/vibes/art-pop-baroque-pop/", "mainEntity": { "@type": "ItemList", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "African Lion", "url": "https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/african-lion/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Dhole", "url": "https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/dhole/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Elk", "url": "https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/elk/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "European Hare", "url": "https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/european-hare/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 5, "name": "Gelada", "url": "https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/gelada/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 6, "name": "Great Blue Heron", "url": "https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/great-blue-heron/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 7, "name": "Narwhal", "url": "https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/narwhal/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 8, "name": "Nile Tilapia", "url": "https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/nile-tilapia/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 9, "name": "North Island Brown Kiwi", "url": "https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/north-island-brown-kiwi/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 10, "name": "Satin Bowerbird", "url": "https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/satin-bowerbird/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 11, "name": "Siamese Fighting Fish", "url": "https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/siamese-fighting-fish/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 12, "name": "Silverfish", "url": "https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/silverfish/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 13, "name": "Vogelkop Bowerbird", "url": "https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/vogelkop-bowerbird/" } ] } } ] } ```
