Formed back in 2008, Colder in Moscow earned success early on with their debut release, "Great Speculation." Hot on the circuit, CIM played the legitimate clubs in town and opened for many of Minneapolis' finest, including the Love-Cars.

Here's a fine write up by Rob van Alstyne:

In 2010, the drum chair opened up and Mound native, Matthew Leonard joined the band. The band returned to Humans Win! Studio in August to begin work on a new album. With the departure of John Walker and Ian Nygaard in the ensuing months, the recording process ceased and CIM began writing new material under a different moniker, Animal Hospital, as a way to regroup without going on hiatus. An impromtu session, "Animal Hospital Demos Vol. !" was released early 2011.

The unreleased album and a brand new EP are slated to be released as early as October this year. Check back for album updates and show alerts!
