Glass Animals, an Oxfordshire-based quartet with an ear for trip-hop and psychedelic indie pop have announced their debut trip to Australia with shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

Finding a strong connection between artwork and music, David Bayley (vocals) has crafted music that bounds playfully throughout their sparse, lofty soundscape. A little bit psychedelic, a little bit synthy, and a little bit modern edge. Glass Animals are the first signing to Wolf Tone, the new label started by producer Paul Epworth, who is best known for producing and co-writing Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep’, in addition to working with artists like Bruno Mars, Foster The People and Florence & The Machine.

Glass Animals first single, eclectic synth-pop ‘Psylla’ has reached Australian radios, with triple j play and becoming popular additions to many a playlist.

Lovers of bands like Alt-J and Purity Ring will find themselves crazy over the eccentric yet inventive use of musical instruments that this band have perfected.

Glass Animals play on Thursday April 3 at Oxford Art Factory. Tickets available from Moshtix.
