The Blow Monkeys sú britská skupina, ktorá patrila k predstaviteľom novej vlny osemdesiatych rokov. Tvorila v štýle sophisti-pop spájajúcom vplyvy pop rocku, soulu a funku.
Animal Magic, vydané v roku 1986 u vydavateľstva RCA Victor, je druhým štúdiovým albumom skupiny a znamenalo ich komerčný prelom po tom, čo debutová platňa získala kritické uznanie, ale jej predaj bol skromnejší. Album obsahuje 11 skladieb vrátane medzinárodného hitu Digging Your Scene, ktorý prenikol do svetovej top 20. Nahrávka zachytáva zvuk, ktorým sa skupina vyprofilovala – elegantnú zmes pop rocku, soulu a new wave s dôrazom na melódiu a štýlový prejav.
V čase vydania albumu tvorili zostavu Dr. Robert, Neville Henry a Tony Kiley.
