Glass Animals will return with their third album Dreamland on July 10th via Wolf Tone Records/Universal Music Group.
Along with the album announcement comes the release of the title track and lead single “Dreamland,” and a pretty creative music video that frontman Dave Bayley shot all by himself during the quarantine with handwritten instructions and some direction on zoom.
The track is a meditative and dream-like ballad of sorts that has an otherworldly feel to it, the sort of track that really only these guys could pull off in this fashion.
Find the music video available to watch below along with a description of the new album from the band:
The idea for this album came at a time of confusion and uncertainty. My best friend was in the hospital. I didn’t know if he’d make it. The future was damn scary and completely unknown. During those weeks in the hospital, it was so difficult to look forwards that I found myself looking backwards. Digging around in my mind, pulling up old memories, finding comfort in them even if they were uncomfortable in themselves. Speaking to friends and family, I’ve realised that a lot of people are experiencing a similar sort of confusion now. 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. We can’t be out creating new memories, so…we’re diving back head-first into the old ones. I hear that in conversations. I see it in what people are watching on TV. In what we’re listening to. In what we’re eating. In dreams.
