Sunday Spotlight: Glass Animals

Glass Animals are this long weekend's Sunday Spotlight. With Dreamland (+ Bonus Levels 2.0) recently landing, along with the hit Heat Waves reaching number one on the ARIA singles chart in February 2021. Whilst being voted number one on the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2020, the month earlier.

Forming in Oxford, England in 2010, Glass Animals are led by singer/songwriter/ producer Dave Bayley, Joe Seaward, Ed Irwin-Singer and Drew MacFarlane. 

Bayley wrote and produced all three Glass Animals albums. 

Their debut, Zaba back in 2014, spawned the single Gooey, which was eventually certified platinum in the United States. 

Their second full album, How to Be a Human Being, received generally positive reviews and won in two categories at the 2018 MPG Awards for UK Album of the Year and Self Producing Artist of the Year, as well as a spot on the Mercury Prize shortlist. 

The third, Dreamland, included the single Tokyo Drifting which peaked at number seven on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. Alongside Heat Waves, Tangerine along with recent additions I Don't Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance) and Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

So this Grand Final Sunday of the October long weekend, kick your feet up get into Dreamland and chill. We still got one more day to PARTY! Or picnic. This could be the perfect picnic record!
