Live Review: SOUNDCLOUD WRAP: Glass Animals

6 June 2014 | 12:00 am | Hannah Galvin

British outfit Glass Animals have given us their top ten favourite tracks for our weekly SoundCloud Wrap series.

British four piece GLASS ANIMALS are a band we've really enjoyed following. Facilitating a sound that fuses indie-rock vibes with pop and r'n'b stylings, they've charmed their audience five EP's in, and will continue to do so with the release of their highly anticipated debut record, 'Zaba'.

Besides visiting Australia for the first time back in April this year, Glass Animals have taken their journey over to Texas' SXSW as well as having supported St. Vincent for her European tour. They've clearly come a long way considering frontman Dave Bayley conducted his first ever recording from beneath a duvet due to being incredibly nervous.

Currently touring the UK before heading out over to America, the boys were kind enough to lend us some of their free time by leading our SoundCloud Wrap for the week.

GILLIGAN MOSS 'CHOREOGRAPH'

'Gilligan Moss did a remix of Gooey for us, this is one of his own pieces. It's freaking neat.'

SANGO x GOLDLINK 'WASSUP'

'Sango and GoldLink sample Timberland's Indian Flutes. nuff said.'

'This track is pretty wild. It's huge, and like being in a Jungle with heaps of massive beats yawning, and other tiny ones screaming up in trees.'

LUCKI ECK$ 'NO TROUBLES'

'Lucki Eck$ is definitely worth keeping an eye out for. Smooth and soulful Hip-Hop.'

STEVE REICH 'NAGOYA MARIMBA' (HNNY EDIT)

'YES.'

ANDREW ASHONG FT. THEO PARRISH 'FLOWERS' (RADIO EDIT)

'The original track is 9 minutes long i think, this radio edit comes in at 5-ish. Its jazzy, funky, and has a brilliant beat.'

CASHMERE CAT 'WITH ME'

'We saw Cashmere Cat at SXSW a couple of times, and his live set was brilliant. Some of his remixes lately have been massive.'

CLAMS CASINO 'I'M GOD [LIL B]'

'Sooooo spooky. and pretty. and wow. yup. thanks Clams. Based his entire sound on 'compliments’ off Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm. Dont believe me? listen for yourself.'

NNEKA 'SHINING STAR' (JOE GODDARD REMIX)

Another funky remix. He gets ‘em pretty well every time no?

Glass Animals' debut LP Zaba will be released on Friday, 6th June via Caroline Records.
