, In July 2018, drummer Joe Seaward was seriously injured when he was hit by a lorry while cycling in Dublin.

Dreamland is the awakening moment from a turbulent time for Glass Animals, the nostalgic personal journey of front man and producer Dave Bayley.A heavy hip-hop influence pervades throughout, but the blueprint of the Oxford band remains: dreamy, danceable psych-pop beats providing the backdrop to the most troublesome of memoirs. The album received critical acclaim for its "sense of wonder" and "immediate impression", though it was also met with some mixed reactions, for critics felt that it was somewhat premature.

It's an amazing experience that deserves to be seen and felt! Explore releases from Glass Animals at Discogs. " Dreamland was released on 7 August 2020 via Polydor Records in an interview with Atwood Magazine, Dave Bayley explained, "I guess the goal with this record was to make something that was incredibly honest and incredibly us." "Tangerine" did not enter the New Zealand Top 40 Singles Chart, but peaked at number 25 on the New Zealand Hot Singles Chart. You can tell they're up there having a good time (as will you).Having spent most of his childhood as an American, he has always flirted with hip hop sonics in his day job, but all the time he’s spent over the past few years producing for rap stars has finally come to its true fruition. they sound GREAT live and look good while doing it. The first is a Tim Burton type animated piece and the other more of a Quentin Tarantino or David Lynch style live action.įinally, if this band comes to your town. The two full length videos on YouTube for each album are highly entertaining too and I suggest checking them out. More of a press play and prepare to be entertained. I certainly wouldn't dance to them (not to say you couldn't). They were placed in my local FYE's Electronic section but I think they really belong in a section to themselves as they really don't sound like anyone else. This is their debut but go ahead and pick up both releases you will NOT be disappointed.

These guys just have such a fresh sound that pulls you in and hypnotizes with you with their beats and lyrics. Been stuck in my car stereo too (yes some people still load physical CDs into a car stereo). I swear this album's been played almost daily at work after a friend turned me on to them.
