GLASS ANIMALS

I Love You So F***ing Much (Polydor)

The sky’s the limit for Glass Animals. Heat Waves, from their last album Dreamland, was a colossal hit for the Oxford band, hitting number one across the globe, and new album I Love You So F***ing Much has the potential to be even bigger. Every single song on the album is honed to the band’s high standards, with singles Creatures In Heaven and A Tear In Space (Airlock) perfect teasers of what’s to come on the album – 10 fantastic songs.

Opener Show Pony is strong, second track Whatthehellishappening? even stronger, and How I Learned To Love The Bomb – with its Dr. Strangelove-referencing title – is arguably the strongest song on the album, excepting the singles. I Love You So F***ing Much is catchy, consistent and really hones in on what makes Glass Animals such a great band. All hail the bops to come with this record.
