Glass Animals - I Love You So F***ing Much (2024)
Glass Animals' fourth studio album, I Love You So Fing Much*, released on July 19, 2024, delves into themes of love and existentialism through a sci-fi lens, drawing inspiration from 1980s aesthetics. The album comprises ten tracks, including "Show Pony," "Creatures in Heaven," and "A Tear in Space (Airlock)," blending the band's signature psychedelic pop with new wave influences. Critics have offered mixed reviews. Rolling Stone UK notes that the album moves away from the tropical pop of previous hits towards crunchier rock sounds, reflecting recent turbulence in the band's journey. Far Out Magazine suggests that while the album has a solid premise, it lacks the freshness and fun of earlier works, indicating a potential stagnation in their sound. Clash Magazine describes the album as a bold return, at times feeling that the concept slightly overpowers the music, yet overall presenting a confident and well-crafted record reminiscent of an eclectic sci-fi soundtrack from the eighties. Overall, I Love You So Fing Much* showcases Glass Animals' ambition to explore new thematic and sonic territories, though it has elicited varied responses regarding its execution and innovation.
