I still rate Are You With Me much more highly but this was rather good by recent Lost Frequencies standards so was good to see this finally give him a second major hit

Basic but passable. Decent enough but like Belters Only shouldn't really rank this high.

Reality > both the actual big Lost Frequencies hits

 

This is dece but overplay has made me bored of it x

This was OK but it's no Are You With Me

Biography

 

According to legend, Glass Animals chose their name by picking two words out of the dictionary at random—but you couldn’t come up with a better combination for a group that toes the line between the pristine and primal. On their 2014 debut, Zaba, the Oxford quartet aligned themselves with a storied lineage of abstract alt-rock—the moody atmospheres of Radiohead, the tropical textures of Animal Collective—but in Dave Bayley, Glass Animals possess an uncommonly smooth singer who could mould those left-field influences into sultry, R&B-flavoured pop songs. While the album made them indie darlings, it also earned the group admirers beyond the typical NME reader—the 2015 single “Lose Control” saw them team up with Brooklyn MC Joey Bada$$ for a trippy rap track. That sense of anything-goes openness fully flourished on 2016’s How to Be a Human Being, whose procession of freaky, funky anthems and synth-smeared slow jams earned Glass Animals their first Mercury Prize nomination. But after drummer Joe Seaward was nearly killed in a 2018 cycling accident, Glass Animals dialled down the eccentricity for 2020’s Dreamland, a more intimate record that further harmonized the art-rock/club-pop dialectic at the heart of their music. Speaking about the single “Your Love (Déjà Vu)” to Apple Music, Hayley said, “The idea was to take my favourite '90s producers like Timbaland and The Neptunes and the way they used samples, yet record a lot of those sounds in the way The Beatles or Beach Boys might’ve done it... and then taking Beatles and Beach Boys sounds and resampling them as [those producers] might’ve done.” That Dreamland cracked the Top 10 in both the UK and US is a testament to Glass Animals’ gift for melding different styles and eras into the sound of now. - Apple Music

The top ten is dire so far.

Loved Heat Waves about two years ago but so bored of it now.

I seriously need a break from 'Heat Waves' for a while before I can begin to appreciate it again :lol:

 

I was obsessed with their song 'Youth' in 2016 though and still love that :wub:

meh at Heat Waves being such a gigantic hit, it really isn't that good.

'Where Are You Now' is fine but not a major fave or anything.

 

ugh at 'Heat Waves', fine enough song but it's chart success is so overrated for me when it's hardly that groundbreaking x

Heat Waves improving on 8th last year :cheeseblock: surprised it continued to do quite so well, but I'm absolutely here for it!

Biography

 

With her enchanting howl of a voice and passion for outrageous creative risk, Kate Bush strikes an uncanny balance between artistic experimentation and pop satisfaction. In a career that goes back to the late ’70s, she’s produced hits like “This Woman’s Work,” “Babooshka,” and “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)” alongside esoteric song cycles and conceptual works, inspiring artists as diverse as St. Vincent and Big Boi with her wonderfully witchy distillation of literary themes, musical idioms, and studio innovations. Born Catherine Bush in July 1958 in Kent, England, she grew up in a village farmhouse with an ever-supportive Roman Catholic family. Her two older brothers, John and Paddy, were her earliest collaborators; her big break came at age 16 when Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour helped her produce a demo tape and land a record deal. She was a sensation from the start with her Emily Brontë-inspired 1978 debut single, “Wuthering Heights,” summoning raw desire with her piercing soprano and the video's interpretive dance moves. She went on to produce a string of acclaimed albums throughout the ’80s and into the ’90s—including 1985’s masterful Hounds of Love, which veers between synth-pop, piano balladry, Irish folk, and earthy lyricism. Bush has been quieter in more recent years, releasing just three albums in the 2000s and 2010s. But her visionary work helped make way for the post-genre pop of artists like Lorde and Billie Eilish, while her artistic autonomy sets an important standard for the music industry. - Apple Music

Masterpiece :wub:

:wub: :wub: :wub: this eventually getting to #1 was *the* chart moment for the year for me along with many others I'm sure

Masterpiece is the word indeed.

 

:wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

Kate Bush saving the day!

Incredible :wub:

:wub:

what an iconic chart moment this song getting a huge chart revival was!

such a good song too, my favourite of Kate's

I knew this before Stranger Things of course but its use in the show gave me a new love for it, what a classic :wub:

Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) :wub: improving on its 1985 #3 peak to reach #2 despite ACR, and then #1 - chart moment of the decade so far surely!
