Music / First LookStream the new single from Glass AnimalsExclusive: The sprightly Oxford four-piece return with the bank-holiday ready "Pools"ShareLink copied ✔️April 16, 2014MusicFirst LookText Suze Olbrich If it were it possible to slink in amongst the tiny slips of air encircling the waves of Glass Animals' curvaceous rhythm, snappy percussion and seductive vocals, you'd be gone for quite some time. "Pools" is the alluring new single from the Oxford quartet's debut album ZABA (out June 9), and was recorded at producer Paul Epworth’s studio and will be released on his Wolf Tone label.
