Glass Animals are the breakthrough band of 2021as their monster hit ‘Heat Waves’ continues to make waves around the world. However, as the song remains charting around the globe the group is back with new music this week as they premiere their new single ‘I Don’t Wanna Talk (I Just Want To Dance)’.
The song is the band’s first new music following their colossal #2 album Dreamland, that encapsulates the electrifying mood of the year that changed everything for the Oxford four-piece.
Talking is great, don’t get me wrong. But this pandemic has made so many of us look inwards in a way we maybe haven’t before. The uncertainty in the world and the inability to go out and create new memories makes you dig deep into the past,” songwriter and producer Dave Bayley says. “It really fed people’s deepest insecurities and rattled our foundations in so many ways. Relationships changed, friendships altered, and self-confidence was warped. I spent a lot of time talking to my dog, but even more time talking to myself in my head, which was keeping me up all night, and my friends and family were doing the same.
He adds “It felt like we were all put in a pressure cooker, but there was no way to let out the steam. That’s what this track is about – that pressure cooker exposing and expanding so many cracks, but struggling to fill them in and decompress. I want people to switch their devices off, put this song on, close their eyes, and have that release for a moment.”
