I Love You So F***ing Much is the fourth studio album by English indie rock band Glass Animals, released on 19 July 2024 through Polydor Records.[2] It was preceded by the single "Creatures in Heaven", released on 3 April 2024. It is their first studio release since Dreamland, released in 2020.[3]

Background

[edit]

The album was partly inspired by the success of "Heat Waves" in 2020,[4] with frontman Dave Bayley saying that "sometimes you aren't able to change as quickly on a personal level". He explained that success can leave one feeling like a "spectator" with accompanying expectations to act a certain way, which "confused [him] to the point of not knowing who [he] was or if anything was real".[5] The title is about the power and mystery of human connection in a universe that "may make us feel overwhelmingly small". Bayley also explained that the lead single "Creatures in Heaven" is about "a moment in time [...] having the capacity to be enormously formative and life-changing".[5]

Promotion

[edit]

The album was promoted with a concert tour entitled “The Tour of Earth”, which started on 4 August 2024 in Charlotte, North Carolina and will conclude on 8 March 2025 in Mumbai. Opening acts for the tour include Kevin Abstract, Eyedress, Blondshell, and The Big Moon.
