Glass Animals – How To Be A Human Being (Vinyl)
It’s rare to see a band debut with an already defined and unique sound, but that’s what Glass Animals did with their first album, Zaba, two years ago. Infusing smooth indie electric beats with eclectic noise, the UK foursome sounded almost like if Alt-J had spent a lot of time in the forest and got really into the bongos.
Zaba catapulted Glass Animals to a two-year stint of global tours and festival sets, leaving them with some bumps and bruises, a treasure trove of anecdotes, and a sophomore album to show for it.
True to form, Glass Animals pack just as many sounds into How To Be a Human Being as they did Zaba, this time going beyond background noise and bringing the strangeness to the foreground.
How To Be A Human Being is brilliant, with each listen revealing more, scraping back another layer.
Tracklist:
A1 Life Itself
A2 Youth
A3 Season 2 Episode 3
A4 Pork Soda
A5 Mama's Gun
B1 Cane Shuga
B2 The Other Side of Paradise
B3 Take a Slice
B4 Poplar St
B5 Agnes

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
