Glass Animals have released their new album Dreamland today – check it out on New Music Friday.
The band’s third studio album was delayed at the start of July, but is out today after first being announced back in May with its title-track. “The idea for this album came at a time of confusion and uncertainty,” singer/producer Dave Bayley explained at the time.
“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.”
