Glass Animals

Released February 19th via Republic Records, “Your Love (Déjà Vu)” is the latest single from Glass Animals. It will be on their forthcoming third studio album set for release later this year. A hot n’ heavy track described by the band’s front-man and songwriter Dave Bayley as a “conflicted booty-call anthem,” the song follows November 2019’s standalone single “Tokyo Drifting” featuring Miami-based rapper Denzel Curry.

When asked about “Your Love (Déjà Vu),” Bayley explains, “I think we’ve all found ourselves in fucked up relationships that make us feel sad and helpless. Not necessarily something romantic — maybe it’s with a family member or a friend. A relationship that we know on some level is going to keep breaking our hearts. We let that person back into their lives over and over again, even though it always ends the same. Maybe you don’t confront it because you hope it’ll change with time. Or because it’s easier to let it slide and never set boundaries. Maybe you think you deserve that unhappiness. Or maybe you find some strange comfort in the chaos.”

Bayley continues, “This song is about that… about being addicted to chaos. About doing or allowing something self-destructive because on some level you get off on the sadness that comes of it. It’s about wanting to float around and exist inside of that feeling because it has always been familiar to you. It’s something that a lot of people know from growing up in a tense household… so it can feel right to create that dynamic, even if you don’t realize you’re doing it.”

Glass Animals was formed in 2010 and the British four-piece is led by singer-songwriter and producer Dave Bayley and band-mates and Joe Seaward, Ed Irwin-Singer and Drew MacFarlane. They have released two full-length albums so far; “Zaba” (2014) and “How To Be A Human Being” (2016). Bayley wrote and self-produced both of these collections. Outside of his work for Glass Animals, Bayley has written and produced for a number of artists including 6lack, Khalid, Joey Badass, Wale, Flume and others.

This spring, Glass Animals will be heading out on tour in the U.S. including stops at Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival, Bonnaroo and Splendour in the Grass Festival in Australia this summer.
