Glass Animals Share New Dance Anthem “I Don’t Want To Talk (I Just Want To Dance)”

[D J C]

 

The British indie band Glass Animals have reason to dance; their 2020 album Dreamland was a hit among indie fans, and their song “Heat Waves” was also well received by the music world. Now, the band released their newest track, “I Don’t Want To Talk (I Just Want To Dance).” Like the title indicates, the song is all about dancing and letting loose. It’s a fun new track that would have had the potential to be the soundtrack of the summer if summer wasn’t over and we wouldn’t have an ongoing pandemic. Yet, this doesn’t mean listeners can’t go outside and dance the day away.

The song feels fresh and light. For the next few minutes, the listener can forget their sorrows and just enjoy the music.

 

 

Frontman Dave Bayley says about the inspiration behind the new song, “Talking is great, don’t get me wrong. But this pandemic has made so many of us look inwards in a way we maybe haven’t before. The uncertainty in the world and the inability to go out and create new memories makes you dig deep into the past.” He continues, “It really fed people’s deepest insecurities and rattled our foundations in so many ways. Relationships changed, friendships altered, and self-confidence was warped. I spent a lot of time talking to my dog, but even more time talking to myself in my head, which was keeping me up all night, and my friends and family were doing the same.”

 

Bayley explains that after all this time and pressure on society, he just wanted people to turn off their devices. Like in the video to the song, when people just let loose wherever they may be and just seem to enjoy their life while listening to some good music.

 

Glass Animals are currently hitting the road with their sold out Dreamland tour. The first leg kicked off on September 7, and will last until late October. After a little break the band will the continue their trek in March 2022 until June.
