Glass Animals, a four-piece band from Oxford, are the epitome of creativity when it comes to showcasing their music. On the 15th October they hosted a one-off audiovisual experience – a live in the internet concert, said to be the first of its kind. The band is made up of frontman Dave Bayley, Edmund Irwin-Singer on bass, Joe Seaward on drums and Drew Macfarlane on keys. Their music is famous for its ability to transport you to a completely new world. The band\u2019s third album \u2018Dreamland\u2019 lives up to this reputation accordingly. However, this album\u2019s tour was abruptly cut short because of the coronavirus pandemic so they decided to take their tour to the internet. A bold and wildly creative move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical difficulties were expected when such a large capacity is watching one stream, but aside from the freezing and the occasional black screen the night successfully redefined the concert space. The holographic backscreen full of objects mentioned in each album which consumed the four artists was positively a vivid treat for the eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
