Give people a bit of a false sense of calm.
We thought that could be a cool way to start the record. The first half of the track is quite mellow but is meant to build tension, and then it all changes up about halfway through. I don't even remember what it's called now, but it was a bass-heavy monster. I think the idea for this beat was sparked by an old FlyLo track. It's meant to fit together a bit like a puzzle, where hopefully the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and each song is a little world within an overarching larger picture, taking you through to different places, meeting different characters and creatures. We didn't want to write a whole record of love songs for example. We didn't want to repeat ideas, or repeat any one emotion. Each song is meant to fill a space that the others don't in terms of the music, lyrics and the sonics.
Something that takes you to a place away from reality and holds you there for its entirety.
We set out to make a record that you can listen to from start to finish. Here, frontman Dave Bayley talks us through the album, which gets released next week, on June 9, via Wolf Tone Glass Animals are currently hosting an interactive stream of Zaba on their website - head here to listen to it.
