The unstoppable Oxford indie-pop quartet brought their palm tree and pineapple pop magic to Berkeley’s historic outdoor amphitheater and we went behind the scenes for the day, ensuring we brought you a rubber duck-filled photo essay. Photos by Erika Reinsel.
Glass Animals’ How To Be A Human Being is out now via Caroline/Wolf Tone and the band are set for North American dates through September and October, finishing off with three dates in Mexico.
In an inspired method of product placement, when the band shared the video for “Pork Soda”, they also treated fans to an interactive site for the new track, allowing you can flip between a retro TV displaying fictional infomercials narrated by members of the band.
