“There are a lot of strange ideas, new ideas and weird things happening in this record. So I’m excited to see what people think of it. Lots of new sounds, odd musical ideas and quite raw, lyrical ideas. I had such a strong vision of what I wanted to write about and the stories I wanted to tell with this record that it actually came out very quickly. All the writing and demos were done over about two weeks. Don’t get me wrong; it was still very hard work. Two totally sleepless weeks.”
Dave Bayley of Glass Animals updated me about what went into his band’s sophomore release. The Oxford-based quartet plays at The Criterion next week.
