Glass Animals have shared exotic new track 'Life Itself'.
The band will release new album 'How To Be A Human Being' later this year, following the extensive period of travelling that followed their acclaimed debut.
Absorbing new sounds as they went, Glass Animals have allowed this to trickle into their upcoming release.
'Life Itself' is a fine introductory point, laced with colour and intoxicating fresh ideas. Singer/producer Dave Bayley explains:
"Things have changed a lot for us over the past two years. instead of sitting in the studio we’ve been in a different city every night; making friends, hearing crazy stories, getting in crazy trouble. So much has happened! All of it made me want to think about people, and write something rawer and more human. ‘Life Itself’ is one of those. It’s a guy who was born a bit strange, and struggles to become part of society. Because of that he spends more time alone in his own head, getting stranger, and it becomes an awful cycle of doom."
"Sound and production wise…we’ve been buzzing off of the amazing energy of the crowds we’ve been playing to. As crowds grew, they got more feral…and so did we. We found ourselves going wilder on stage, and playing heavier, grittier, high energy versions of our songs, changing them every night. Now we’ve tried to put some of that energy, spontaneity, and sound on tape."
