Speaker 2: Get the Menima, by the better two. Get a few bargains.

5
00:00:22,813 --> 00:00:25,693
Speaker 2: They're on three for two by a batter, moved by

6
00:00:25,733 --> 00:00:29,733
Speaker 2: a pin of few, use with nothing many too, gets

7
00:00:29,773 --> 00:00:33,853
Speaker 2: a beatitude, gets mules to give me solitude and a

8
00:00:33,973 --> 00:00:39,133
Speaker 2: good excuse. This is wonderful nothing from Glass Animals that

9
00:00:39,293 --> 00:00:41,693
Speaker 2: is off their brand new album I Love you so

10
00:00:42,333 --> 00:00:45,013
Speaker 2: ifing much. And I'm sure Estelle, you're wondering what I

11
00:00:45,093 --> 00:00:46,493
Speaker 2: was going to say there good morning.

12
00:00:47,573 --> 00:00:51,653
Speaker 3: I thought you might do the bleeping or there's there's

13
00:00:51,693 --> 00:00:53,813
Speaker 3: some places you can review and just say the word

14
00:00:53,853 --> 00:00:54,293
Speaker 3: as it is.

15
00:00:54,333 --> 00:00:57,893
Speaker 4: But you know, yep, well done. Well this is negotiating

16
00:00:57,933 --> 00:00:58,213
Speaker 4: that one.

17
00:00:58,293 --> 00:01:00,133
Speaker 2: No, this is when one just looks at the producers.

18
00:01:00,253 --> 00:01:01,613
Speaker 2: This is how would you like me to say this?

19
00:01:01,733 --> 00:01:03,013
Speaker 4: Living and she says we don't.

20
00:01:02,853 --> 00:01:05,213
Speaker 2: Like this, thank you very much, I shall behave yep.

21
00:01:05,853 --> 00:01:10,013
Speaker 4: One layer of not being told off exactly exactly. This

22
00:01:10,053 --> 00:01:12,773
Speaker 4: is the yes, yes, sorry, do you?

23
00:01:12,813 --> 00:01:14,333
Speaker 3: I was gonna say you had much of a history

24
00:01:14,333 --> 00:01:16,293
Speaker 3: with Glass Animals.

25
00:01:16,973 --> 00:01:19,453
Speaker 2: I'm a bit like a lot of people. Probably it

26
00:01:19,573 --> 00:01:22,093
Speaker 2: was that twenty twenty heat Waves and I went, oh, okay,

27
00:01:22,173 --> 00:01:25,653
Speaker 2: that's them, and I think the last album dream Streamland.

28
00:01:26,213 --> 00:01:27,973
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm just familiar with you.

29
00:01:28,213 --> 00:01:29,173
Speaker 2: I'm familiar with them.

30
00:01:29,253 --> 00:01:30,653
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah totally.

31
00:01:30,693 --> 00:01:32,573
Speaker 3: And that's probably where I picked up on them as well.

32
00:01:32,653 --> 00:01:35,693
Speaker 3: And heat Waves was everywhere. It got them nominated for

33
00:01:35,733 --> 00:01:37,813
Speaker 3: so many awards. It got them on the Billboard like

34
00:01:37,853 --> 00:01:41,013
Speaker 3: two hundred charts album and they stayed there for weeks,

35
00:01:41,013 --> 00:01:44,613
Speaker 3: which was big, like it's the biggest UK single of

36
00:01:44,653 --> 00:01:46,453
Speaker 3: a UK band for like thirty years.

37
00:01:46,333 --> 00:01:50,453
Speaker 4: Or something, so pretty huge. That's the pressure I think

38
00:01:50,453 --> 00:01:50,813
Speaker 4: it does.

39
00:01:50,853 --> 00:01:53,853
Speaker 3: And what it did is it catapulted them into fame

40
00:01:54,013 --> 00:01:57,053
Speaker 3: that they hadn't had before. They've been a great UK band.

41
00:01:57,173 --> 00:01:59,493
Speaker 3: Lots of people knew them from their back catalog and

42
00:01:59,493 --> 00:02:01,893
Speaker 3: they were probably a little bit more alts indie and

43
00:02:01,933 --> 00:02:04,613
Speaker 3: a bit more playful, and that one kind of crossed

44
00:02:04,613 --> 00:02:07,173
Speaker 3: the line of that sort of more pop kind of sound,

45
00:02:07,253 --> 00:02:08,413
Speaker 3: but it was a bit different, you know.

46
00:02:08,493 --> 00:02:09,733
Speaker 4: And it got TikTok.

47
00:02:10,093 --> 00:02:12,173
Speaker 3: Everyone was using it behind their videos on TikTok, so

48
00:02:12,173 --> 00:02:15,373
Speaker 3: it got this real social media following. And I think

49
00:02:15,413 --> 00:02:17,053
Speaker 3: what happened for them then is they weren't able to

50
00:02:17,053 --> 00:02:19,373
Speaker 3: celebrate that success because we were all in lockdown.

51
00:02:20,373 --> 00:02:20,533
Speaker 4: You know.

52
00:02:20,573 --> 00:02:22,133
Speaker 3: They didn't even get to go to the Grammys and

53
00:02:22,173 --> 00:02:25,613
Speaker 3: go yay, look at us, which is weird, right, Everyone's

54
00:02:25,653 --> 00:02:27,013
Speaker 3: into you and then you don't even get to go

55
00:02:27,053 --> 00:02:28,813
Speaker 3: and be in front of them, Like it's so strange.

56
00:02:29,053 --> 00:02:32,133
Speaker 2: This is the first time, Estelle, that someone's mentioned something

57
00:02:32,173 --> 00:02:33,813
Speaker 2: like to do like that with COVID, and it's felt

58
00:02:33,813 --> 00:02:35,613
Speaker 2: like a long time ago. That's a good thing.

59
00:02:35,733 --> 00:02:36,613
Speaker 4: I'm moving on.

60
00:02:36,813 --> 00:02:39,693
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah totally. And I think then for

61
00:02:39,773 --> 00:02:43,253
Speaker 3: a band who did get catapulted to much bigger stardom

62
00:02:43,333 --> 00:02:44,453
Speaker 3: during that time.

63
00:02:44,493 --> 00:02:45,773
Speaker 4: What's the aftermath of that?

64
00:02:46,573 --> 00:02:48,693
Speaker 3: And it's actually interesting to me reading the reviews of

65
00:02:48,733 --> 00:02:52,653
Speaker 3: this album here, Yes, their fourth album, some fans have

66
00:02:52,813 --> 00:02:55,493
Speaker 3: just not been into it, and I think that's because

67
00:02:55,613 --> 00:02:58,573
Speaker 3: they're original fans back in the very very Like their

68
00:02:58,613 --> 00:03:02,373
Speaker 3: debut album ZEBA, it is quite an interesting listen. So

69
00:03:02,453 --> 00:03:04,733
Speaker 3: maybe what this album is for some of us is

70
00:03:04,773 --> 00:03:06,853
Speaker 3: a good idea to go back to some of their

71
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:10,613
Speaker 3: back catalog and then find the ones that suit for us,

72
00:03:10,613 --> 00:03:13,413
Speaker 3: if you know what I mean. Probably more pop centric

73
00:03:13,493 --> 00:03:17,253
Speaker 3: this album than some of their tunes have been before.

74
00:03:17,293 --> 00:03:19,533
Speaker 3: An interesting band because there's actually four of them, but

75
00:03:19,573 --> 00:03:22,773
Speaker 3: you only ever really hear from or know about lead

76
00:03:22,893 --> 00:03:26,693
Speaker 3: singer Dave Bailey, and he does most of the production

77
00:03:26,813 --> 00:03:30,013
Speaker 3: himself as well, so it feels like the solo man project,

78
00:03:30,013 --> 00:03:33,133
Speaker 3: but there are actually four members in a band. I

79
00:03:33,173 --> 00:03:36,813
Speaker 3: think this time he's tried to scope the music based

80
00:03:36,853 --> 00:03:40,813
Speaker 3: on his own vulnerability and his own stories, where in

81
00:03:40,853 --> 00:03:44,093
Speaker 3: the past they've probably been a little loosely tied to

82
00:03:44,133 --> 00:03:47,973
Speaker 3: someone they know or a little bit ambiguous into their meaning.

83
00:03:48,453 --> 00:03:51,653
Speaker 3: And again I think fans actually quite liked that. Maybe

84
00:03:51,693 --> 00:03:54,373
Speaker 3: that's the difference here where he's trying to show more

85
00:03:54,373 --> 00:03:56,093
Speaker 3: of his human scope of emotions.

86
00:03:56,133 --> 00:03:56,533
Speaker 4: I don't know.

87
00:03:57,893 --> 00:04:00,293
Speaker 3: He uses a lot of his falsetto voice in the

88
00:04:00,333 --> 00:04:02,933
Speaker 3: album two, which I don't know about you, but sometimes

89
00:04:02,973 --> 00:04:04,733
Speaker 3: for me that starts getting a little bit too much,

90
00:04:04,973 --> 00:04:05,493
Speaker 3: just a little.

91
00:04:05,573 --> 00:04:08,333
Speaker 2: I did think whause it sounds really slick.

92
00:04:09,133 --> 00:04:11,533
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, And I think he is really clever at there,

93
00:04:11,533 --> 00:04:13,813
Speaker 3: and he's clever at bringing in like this sort of

94
00:04:14,053 --> 00:04:17,893
Speaker 3: urban bass, but then there's this synth pop eighties like

95
00:04:17,933 --> 00:04:21,693
Speaker 3: it's kind of a real mosh up of lots of

96
00:04:21,733 --> 00:04:24,253
Speaker 3: different genres. But somehow these guys have made it work

97
00:04:24,333 --> 00:04:26,013
Speaker 3: for them, and I think because it just sounds a

98
00:04:26,013 --> 00:04:28,773
Speaker 3: bit obscure in the pop scene, like it gives it

99
00:04:28,773 --> 00:04:31,573
Speaker 3: that little edge, and I think that in pastimes they've

100
00:04:31,573 --> 00:04:34,013
Speaker 3: probably been a bit edgier than perhaps this album is.

101
00:04:34,533 --> 00:04:36,253
Speaker 3: But yeah, the bit that sort of annoys me about

102
00:04:36,293 --> 00:04:39,413
Speaker 3: it is just him staying in the full setto range.

103
00:04:40,253 --> 00:04:42,493
Speaker 2: I get the feeling is stell that you'll go. You're

104
00:04:42,573 --> 00:04:45,053
Speaker 2: saying to me, you know, these guys have created some

105
00:04:45,533 --> 00:04:49,173
Speaker 2: huge hits. They're very talented. I'm not really sure where

106
00:04:49,173 --> 00:04:52,773
Speaker 2: this album is going to fit into the legacy, but

107
00:04:52,973 --> 00:04:54,413
Speaker 2: you know, it's up to the d.

108
00:04:56,093 --> 00:04:57,133
Speaker 4: Totally. Look.

109
00:04:57,173 --> 00:04:59,533
Speaker 3: I think Show Pony and Creatures in Heaven, which you

110
00:04:59,533 --> 00:05:01,413
Speaker 3: are going to play some of soon, you've got that

111
00:05:01,493 --> 00:05:04,293
Speaker 3: real catchy dream pop thing about them, which will make

112
00:05:04,333 --> 00:05:07,253
Speaker 3: that easy radio play Like I made all get picked up,

113
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:10,613
Speaker 3: real catchy, easy to follow, and sometimes don't we just

114
00:05:10,693 --> 00:05:12,133
Speaker 3: need that mindless.

115
00:05:11,613 --> 00:05:13,853
Speaker 4: We don't want to your do So what did you

116
00:05:13,893 --> 00:05:14,213
Speaker 4: give us?

117
00:05:14,373 --> 00:05:17,253
Speaker 3: Be a show Pony and enjoy the music. It's a

118
00:05:17,293 --> 00:05:19,133
Speaker 3: seven out of ten. I don't think it's the best,

119
00:05:19,133 --> 00:05:21,653
Speaker 3: but there are some enjoyable tunes on it, so soak

120
00:05:21,693 --> 00:05:22,053
Speaker 3: them up.

121
00:05:22,213 --> 00:05:24,453
Speaker 2: Fantastic, Thank you so much, Estelle, and we'll play a

122
00:05:24,453 --> 00:05:26,693
