Glass Animals - Gold Lime

Showing their faces amid their extensive US touring plans, it’s the impact of stateside endeavours that form the fabric of Glass Animals’ latest offering. There’s no evidence that the time on the road has got the Oxfordian’s pining for a break though, with the collective energy of their US experience crafted in to the dazzling ‘Gold Lime’.

Tying together Yeah Yeah Yeah’s ‘Gold Lion’ and Erykha Badu’s ‘The Healer’, it’s a fusion that turns each of these originals inside out. With hip-hop samples playing off against Dave Bayley’s undulating vocal, ‘Gold Lime’ turns in to a different beast as it shifts in to a swirling climaxes, marking itself out as one of the most distinctive examples of the bands output. It takes everything from the more adventurous end of the bands repertoire and ups it a level. Karen and Erykha, consider yourselves well and truly Glass Animalsified – this is a band staking their claim at the front of the left-field pop line.
