Glass Animals have released a new single, ‘Vampire Bat’, the fifth instalment in their Fresh Fruit series.
The Fresh Fruit project offers the group a space to explore ideas and collaborators outside their core albums. Previous entries include ‘Gold Lime’, ‘Lose Control’ with Joey Bada$$, ‘Tokyo Drifting’ with Denzel Curry, and ‘I Don’t Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)’ with Albert Hammond Jr. ‘Vampire Bat’ arrives with producer Rob Bisel (SZA) and leans into a rhythmic bounce reminiscent of ‘Dreamland’. The track features intentionally cryptic lines: “All in my face, Don Quixote, hee-haw / Spank the monkey, more bananas than Diddy Kong / Shattered like a melon thrown from the Eiffel Tower”.
Elsewhere, the band’s ‘Tour Of Earth’ continues this month with additional North American dates. It began last August in support of their fourth album, ‘I Love You So F***ing Much’, which was released in April that year, and has included runs across the US, the UK and Europe with support from The Big Moon, Kevin Abstract and Blondshell.
The dates read:
AUGUST
12 McMenamins Edgefield Amphitheater, Troutdale, US
15 Ford Idaho Center Amphitheater, Nampa, US
16 Hayden Homes Amphitheater, Bend, US
17 Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harveys, Stateline, US
