How to Be a Human Being

Glass Animals

A vibrant, character-driven collage of neon synths and organic textures. Each track is a vivid portrait of a stranger met on the road, pulsing with life.

A vibrant and empathetic exploration of human eccentricity that balances playful energy with deep, underlying melancholy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The crunchy 8-bit synth line that mimics a video game loading screen on Season 2 Episode 3.
The sudden, heavy guitar riff that breaks the electronic tension in the bridge of Take a Slice.
The devastatingly raw and soaring orchestral swell that closes out the final minute of Agnes.
