Today, Grammy and BRIT-nominated, platinum-selling British band Glass Animals release their fourth studio album I Love You So F***ing Much via Polydor/ Republic Records. Painting 10 portraits of love in all its messy forms, I Love You So F***ing Much is the most personal record songwriter, producer and frontman Dave Bayley has ever written. From the existential to the intimate, from the first love we witness around us as children, to romance, hate and heartbreak - each song is dedicated to a different side of love. From a tiny teardrop in an airlock to a vast galaxy, I Love You So F***ing Much is an expansive record with retro-futuristic production that travels in and out of the “shapelessness of love”. Having performed a string of pop-up dates for fans across the UK, including EartH in Hackney, next month Glass Animals begin mammoth USA tour, playing at amphitheatres to tens of thousands of fans this summer, including two dates at Red Rocks and Madison Square Gardens. The 44 date ‘Tour of Earth’ continues in the UK and Europe later this year, with the band playing London’s O2 in November and then two nights at the Sydney Opera House forecourt in Australia.

“I love you so f***ing much, I LOVE YOU SO F***ING MUCH, I love you SO f***ing MUCH, I love you  so F***ING much, I LOVE you so f***ing MUCH. These words take on a different meaning every time you say them. The universe may make us feel overwhelmingly small, but we have this human connection that is far vaster and more mysterious. Love comes in an infinite number of forms and shapes and sizes. It is so complex, and so powerful that even witnessing the tiniest instance of it can change your life forever.” - Dave Bayley

I Love You So F***ing Much is the follow-up to 2020’s critically revered Dreamland, which sold over 12M copies globally and gave life to ‘Heat Waves’, the record-breaking song that became the biggest international hit from a British band in almost 30 years, and is now Diamond Certified in US and official the 11th most streamed song in Spotify’s history. It was the first song to reach #1 with a single writer and producer since Pharrell’s ‘Happy,’ and led to the pop world’s biggest acts, including Florence Welch, all wanting to work with Dave. But the birth of I Love You So F***ing Much was rooted in an existential crisis. Dave found himself struggling to make sense of this newfound global stardom, having watched it all happen while the world was in lockdown. “Life can change dramatically, but sometimes you aren’t able to change as quickly on a personal level. You end up feeling like a spectator. And then you are asked and expected to be a certain type of person, a different person. But…I wasn’t sure how. It confused me to the point of not knowing who I was or if anything was real.” It took being stranded on a cliff in a wooden house on stilts during one of California’s biggest storms in history to push that feeling into a full existential crisis. In forced isolation, watching trees tumble down mountains and assuming “death was coming,” Dave began asking questions of himself, of the universe and of the human experience: namely, love. As he came to accept himself as an introvert, Dave realised that “human connection and the love between us is much bigger, more important, and more complex than anything else”. However vast space is, deep human connections make the void seem less empty.

LISTEN TO ‘CREATURES IN HEAVEN’

From one infinite song, that set the stage for the biggest British contemporary band to break records and tour the globe, to the infinite possibility of their profound cosmic fourth studio album, Glass Animals are ready to tell their millions of fans, and perhaps themselves: I Love You So F***king Much.
