About Glass Animals
Glass Animals began as Dave Bayley's bedroom project in Oxford and grew into a four-piece with school friends Drew MacFarlane, Edmund Irwin-Singer and Joe Seaward. Their debut album, Zaba, came out in 2014 on Paul Epworth's Wolf Tone label and set the template: slow, humid grooves, chopped-up samples and Bayley's murmured vocals sitting low in the mix.
How to Be a Human Being followed in 2016, built around character sketches of people the band had met on tour. A cycling accident that seriously injured Seaward in 2018 halted the group for a time, and Bayley later wrote the more autobiographical Dreamland. Its single 'Heat Waves' climbed charts slowly over more than a year before reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2022.
