According to The Guardian, Glass Animals are Oxford’s answer to (Cambridge’s) Alt-J, a reference which checks out once you get acquainted with Glass Animals’ hypnotic, bassy brand of electro-indie.
Stopping by in Cambridge as part of their biggest UK headline tour to date, the band are now two albums into their career, with the 2016’s critically acclaimed How to Be a Human Being proving that they weren’t about to suffer from any difficult second album nonsense. Evolving their dreamy art pop sound, it honed the style laid out in 2014’s Zaba, an album which brought us irresistible tracks including Gooey and Hazey. Go see ’em at the Junction on 13 March, tickets are £19.
