Glass Animals EP
Glass Animals
[itunes link=”https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/glass-animals/id528928008?uo=4″ title=”Glass Animals artist”]
Grade: B+
Harvest Record’s recording artist, released their 4 track self titled EP, “Glass Animals.” The album has a haunting/spacey sound. The indie pop band makes use of synthesizers and artificial sounds to bring each songs to life. Dave Barley’s voice definitely keeps the listener captured and wanting to listen more and more. The album is very innovative and captures the essence of who Glass Animals are and is a great indicator of what’s to come from them in the future.
