Glass Animals.

Apparently I’m not the only one drawing parallels to The Antlers or The XX as the tunes of the Oxford based quartet Glass Animals fill my ears, wich also made it to Relentless Noisemaker‘s end of the year list with the genius track Life Lomographic (below). Blending dubstep and pop with sweet, ethereal-sounding vocals is nothing new to the musicsphere these days, already having the likes of Jamie Woon filling up the lists of 2011 faster than anyone could have imagined, something I’m sure Glass Animals’ mysteriously psychedelic forest-pop also will experience in not too long. Production-wise (in similarity to many other DIY bands), the sound might not be as good as one would wish for, mainly considering the otherwise superb vocals of Joe, sometimes pitched little too high in my opinion. Having such a splendid line-up of demos already listed for streaming/downloading off their soundcloud page however, this little detail is easy to forgive. And besides, who knows, maybe it’s not long before we hear rumors of an upcoming debut?
