Dreamland is the third studio album by English indie alternative rock group Glass Animals. It was released on 7 August 2020, having been pushed back from its initial release date of 10 July 2020.[1]

Dreamland is the band's first album since How to Be a Human Being (2016) and was conceived in the aftermath of their drummer being involved in a near-fatal collision in July 2018. The album was written and produced almost entirely by frontman Dave Bayley and features heavily autobiographical lyrics, a radical difference from the band's previous work. It derives musical and lyrical inspiration from Bayley's childhood in Texas, particularly from the popular culture and media of 1990s and early 2000s America. The album has been described as being "drenched in" nostalgia[2] and is structured around a series of interludes of audio from Bayley's childhood home videos. Dreamland was influenced by the R&B and hip hop music from the early 2000s, and features an appearance from American rapper Denzel Curry.

Five singles were released from the album prior to its release: "Tokyo Drifting" (with Denzel Curry), "Your Love (Déjà Vu)", the eponymously named "Dreamland", "Heat Waves" and "It's All So Incredibly Loud". A visual album, entitled Dreamland: The Home Movies, was released on VHS shortly after the album's release. Upon its release, Dreamland has received mostly favourable reviews.

I'm glad they're still consistent. Don't love it as much as the other 2 yet, but I'm not disappointed. A lot of bands can squeeze an album or two before significant drop in quality so I'm glad they've avoided it. Check out their Quarantine Covers on youtube!
