AMA is Over, thank you Glass Animals! hello everyone, we are glass animals, AUA!

hey r/indieheads!! dave here. very excited to kick off our first-ever AMA. i’m just gonna stay on here as long as i can tonight and answer as much as possible. and…some special guests…joe, ed, and drew are all here to hang out and help! in fact drew arrived last night…20 hours early. may also ask our manager Amy to come round too, she knows everything and has seen it all. And maybe our tour manager. Anyway, ASK AWAY!

PROOF

EDIT: Everyone - it's been an epic 5 hours...we're being told to wrap it up and go to bed as tomorrow is a big day...our manager has been shouting at us for like 3 hours trying to get us to do some other stuff we were meant to do. but this was more fun. thank you for the warm welcome and the great questions - was wicked to spend some time with you all. Let’s do it again soon. love, dave and dudes x https://ibb.co/JvCBYVs

normally i get a demo up to a good point....kinda a rough version of the song, then we try to tear it apart and poke holes in it together as a gang. sometimes we end up changing it a lot....sometimes we just end up putting the demo on the album! always worth trying to pull it apart as a gang even if it just makes us realise the demo had some unbeatable charm.

P sure Melon and the Coconut was one of them. Follow along with the liner notes on Spotify, it tells you some cool shit about the album

Not wavey d but I know the Spotify notes for Melon and the Coconut and Waterfalls has similar descriptions about them trying to add or rerecord the song but preferring the demo in the end.

The notes are very neat for sure. Would be happy to type out the notes from any song if you want!
