Glass Animals are beyond thrilled to finally release their hugely-anticipated third album Dreamland into the world (out now via Universal Music Australia).
In what can only be described as a whirlwind 2020 for us all - Glass Animals, the UK's truly original and hugely loved band, confidently set out their stall in February this year for their fervently anticipated third album with first single 'Your Love (Déjà Vu)'. After subsequently setting off on an impressive run of tour dates to celebrate the new music, everything the Dave Bayley fronted four-piece thought was in full motion was brought abruptly to a halt and along with the rest of the world, Glass Animals were sent into full lockdown.
However, being an incredibly creative force, the last four months have seen Glass Animals uniquely and cleverly adapt to the new normal – conjuring up new ways to connect with their international fanbase and bring some distraction and innovation in difficult times.
The band released a series of ingenious covers via their Quarantine Covers series including Nirvana's 'Heart-Shaped Box', Lana Del-Rey's'Young & Beautiful' and a collaboration with rising British artist Arlo Parks on Drake's 'Hotline Bling' among others. They built their own Open-Source website encouraging fans to utilise band stems, images, gifs and more to create their own home-made content. They launched their very own TV network (Glass Animals TV) as well as created some jaw-droppingly inventive music videos. But the undertow of all of this, crucially, meant the band constantly invited us into the enchanting Dreamland world by consistently revealing tastes of their brilliant new album through songs 'Heat Waves', 'Dreamland' and 'It's All So Incredibly Loud'.
