去年與嘻哈歌手 Denzel Curry 合作〈Tokyo Drifting〉宣布回歸運作的英國迷幻流行樂團 Glass Animals 不久前發布了全新MV〈Space Ghost Coast To Coast〉看主唱 Dave 各種裸體分身的同時，我們也同步上架專輯《Dreamland》相關商品

▸ 因意外而沉寂兩年，易碎動物重整旗鼓的全新大碟

Dreamland 是在疫情中按步就班而出的專輯，許多畫面也紀錄著當時封城街景。單曲MV就是英國實施隔離與停擺之高峰期所拍攝；說到近三年前 Glass Animals 鼓手 Joe 發生一場差點致命的車禍，令樂團靈魂人物 Dave Bayley 重新思考關於生命的一切。當時他直言「很難向前望」，於是便唯有向後看、回想起舊時記憶，延伸成第三張專輯《Dreamland》的回憶主題。在音樂上，那是 Dave 重拾他在童年至青少年時代於美國德州居住時的 90 年代美國 Hip-hop 與 R&B 影響，融入更多風格的全新嘗試（文末編自 @hk01_hk）

Dreamland is the third studio album by English group Glass Animals. It was released on 7 August 2020, having been pushed back from its initial release date of 10 July 2020.

Dreamland is the band's first album since How to Be a Human Being (2016) and was conceived in the aftermath of their drummer being involved in a near-fatal collision in July 2018. The album was written and produced almost entirely by frontman Dave Bayley and features heavily autobiographical lyrics, a radical difference from the band's previous work. It derives musical and lyrical inspiration from Bayley's childhood in Texas, particularly from the popular culture and media of 1990s and early 2000s America. The album has been described as being "drenched in" nostalgia and is structured around a series of interludes of audio from Bayley's childhood home videos. Dreamland was influenced by the R&B and hip hop music from the early 2000s, and features an appearance from American rapper Denzel Curry.

Five singles were released from the album prior to its release: "Tokyo Drifting" (with Denzel Curry), "Your Love (Déjà Vu)", the eponymously named "Dreamland", "Heat Waves" and "It's All So Incredibly Loud". A visual album, entitled Dreamland: The Home Movies, was released on VHS shortly after the album's release. Upon its release, Dreamland received mostly favourable reviews.
