Glass Animals are a band of unruffled spirits. Their sultry indie pop has the feel of a musical travelogue from many nations, built from layers of clanking percussion, flirtatious electro-pop and fragments of riffs and motifs. Dave Bayley's come-hither croon—an audible ache in songs such as 2016's “Youth”—acts as the fulcrum around which their sound revolves. His presence is the unifying thread that ties together the electro-soul of “Life Itself”, the slinky falsetto funk of “Toes” and their coquettish, whispery slow jam “Gooey”.
