Glass Animals have shared new single 'Youth' – tune in below.
The band are gearing up to the release of new album 'How To Be A Human Being', with the teasers coming thick and fast.
'Youth' is definitely more substantial than most, however. The song was born from snippets of overheard conversation, as Dave Bayley explains: “I try to sneakily record people, and I have hours and hours of these amazing rants from taxi drivers, people we met outside of shows, people at parties. People tell you some amazing things when they don’t think they’re ever gonna see you again.”
“Someone told me a story about her son once that was one of the saddest things i’ve ever heard. What she said was completely heartbreaking, but she told it with such optimism and such a sense of calm. She was on the verge of crying, but she was also smiling and something in her face said that she had found a way to be happy again. This song is trying to get at that sentiment.”
Tune in below.
Glass Animals will release 'How To Be A Human Being' on August 26th.
