“Dreamland” was one of our Songs of the Week. Previously the band shared the album’s first single, title track “Dreamland,” via a video made by Bayley while under quarantine via instructions from director Colin Read. Growing up is a strange time, the hospital was a strange time and here we are in a strange time again.” Bayley commented in the previous press release: “I spent weeks devastated that our big plans to bring this album to you in real life on a stage were shattered…but, somehow, in all the uncertainty and before all the unknowns…right now seems like the most insane, but also the most apt time to reveal this record.
With Seaward recovered, Glass Animals returned to touring earlier this year, but obviously the rest of their touring plans for 2020 are up in the air due to COVID-19. But the world is so much more interesting and colorful than that…it’s a much more fluid and uncertain place.” So often life asks us for binary yes or no answers. It’s about realizing it’s ok to not have answers and it’s ok to not know how you feel about things and that it’s ok to be and look vulnerable. Quite often those moments are funny, sometimes awkward, sometimes heart-breaking, sometimes it’s about love or hate or sexuality. It’s about growing up, from my first memories as a little kid to now. Speaking about the themes on the album, Bayley had this to say: “This album goes through many of the most confusing moments in my life. I see it in what people are watching on TV. We can’t be out creating new memories, so…we’re diving back head-first into the old ones. Everything that we thought we could see clearly in front of us has been thrown into the air, and all the while, we can’t be out finding our footing. Speaking to friends and family, I’ve realized that a lot of people are experiencing a similar sort of confusion now. Digging around in my mind, pulling up old memories, finding comfort in them even if they were uncomfortable in themselves. During those weeks in the hospital, it was so difficult to look forwards that I found myself looking backwards. The future was damn scary and completely unknown. The band also features guitarist/keyboardist Drew MacFarlane and bassist/keyboardist Ed Irwin-Singer.īayley had this to say about the album in a previous press release: “The idea for this album came at a time of confusion and uncertainty. It’s the band’s first album since drummer Joe Seaward was hit by a truck while cycling in Dublin in 2018, forcing them to cancel their remaining tour dates that year.
TANGERINE GLASS ANIMALS HOW TO
Parks also recently teamed up with Phoebe Bridgers to cover the Radiohead classic “Fake Plastic Trees” (from The Bends), performing it in a church, with Parks on piano, for BBC Radio 1’s Chillest Show with Phil Taggart.ĭreamland is the follow-up to 2016’s How to Be a Human Being. In 2019 Parks released a pair of EPs: Sophie and Super Sad Generation. “Hurt” followed her cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” and her singles “Black Dog” and “Eugene” (the latter landed on a Michelle Obama playlist). Parks recently released a new single, “Hurt,” which was one of our Songs of the Week.
The new version was debuted live yesterday during a Glass Animals livestream concert, which featured Parks, and now the studio version is available. Now they have shared a new version of the album’s “Tangerine” that features guest vocals from rising British musician Arlo Parks. And I have to say I had a lot of fun trying.British four-piece Glass Animals released a new album, Dreamland, back in August via Republic. I have always hated the idea of doing any sort of ‘acting’… however small or subtle the role. I fell in love with it when he told me the idea, but I was petrified of having to act. “I have to thank director David Wilson hugely for this one – we talked about that theme and he came up with the beautiful, cyclical narrative for this video. We’re all born naive and curious and playful and open and vulnerable… and over time those parts of us can get stifled… sometimes too much… to the point where all that child-like joy and curiosity is gone except for a tiny little glint of it that appears all too rarely, like a ghost in the eyes.
It’s a cut from the band’s recent third album ‘Dreamland’, which arrived earlier this year.įrontman Dave Bayley explains: “The song is about seeing someone get lost in the unimportant things in the world… to the point where they lose what made them unique and incredible. Glass Animals have shared a fun new video for ‘Tangerine’.
