Glass Animals, the British band known for their global and platinum diamond-selling achievements, have announced their fourth studio album, I Love You So F***ing Much, set for release on July 19, 2024. This announcement comes with the first glimpse of the album through the single ‘Creatures in Heaven’.
The new album emerges from a period of existential questioning for frontman Dave Bayley, who found himself contemplating newfound global stardom amidst a world in lockdown. Bayley found inspiration in a moment of isolation during one of California’s biggest storms, leading to profound reflections on love and human connection.
‘Creatures in Heaven’ is described by Bayley as a song about the transformative power of momentary connections, whether fleeting or lasting, and their eternal beauty.
In anticipation of the album, Glass Animals engaged fans with cryptic messages and a landing page echoing themes of existential inquiry and love, sparking a vast response. The band’s approach to fan engagement continues the conversation about love’s power in an often cold world.
