Album Review: Glass Animals - Gooey

More accessible than their self-titled EP, the band’s new-found buzz status feels congruous with these easy-going dance grooves.

The appropriately named opener/title track is a wormy, slow-grind comprising hushed, sultry vocals. With the bare bones of a classic R&B-infused pop song, the track's exploratory instrumentation and thick vivaciousness takes it to higher plains. Each Gooey remix is interesting in its own way, such as the grinding Gilligan Moss rework, which plays up the song's twinkling oriental tones. The EP's other track, Holiest, fuses the brooding, expressive vocals of Tei-Shi with twanging, twitching undercurrents.
