Band Glass Animals is set to drop their latest track titled "Vampire Bat"
In an exciting turn of events, British indie band Glass Animals is back with a new single titled "Vampire Bat". This latest addition to their discography is the second release from the band since their global success with "Heat Waves".
The band has been teasing their new release on their social media, asking fans whether they wanted "strawberry" or "kiwi" first, corresponding to snippets of unreleased tracks. The promotional materials prominently feature kiwi imagery, including the single’s cover art showing a fork-stabbed kiwi fruit.
The connection between the new release and kiwis is yet to be revealed by Glass Animals, but it seems to be a thematic or aesthetic device tied to the song's promotion rather than a literal or lyrical element. The "Fresh Fruit Series", under which "Vampire Bat" was released, uses fruit symbolism creatively, and the kiwi acts as an identifiable emblem for this particular single within that series.
Glass Animals first stormed charts and playlists worldwide with "Heat Waves" during the pandemic, a summer hit that still gives fans goosebumps when they perform it live. Now, they are returning with new music after their 2024 album release.
Universal Music is the label releasing Glass Animals' new single "Vampire Bat". The band's social media post about their new release says "Get Ur Kiwis ready."
"Vampire Bat" is the follow-up single to "Heat Waves". The new single is being released today, Friday. This marks the band's first release since their 2024 album "I Love You So F***ing Much".
As Glass Animals continues to push the boundaries of indie music, fans eagerly await the reveal of the connection between "Vampire Bat" and kiwis, and the unique sound and story that the band has promised.
Other entertainment platforms are buzzing about the latest single from Glass Animals, "Vampire Bat," promoting it through creative kiwi symbolism. In the spirit of the "Fresh Fruit Series," Universal Music is encouraging fans to "Get Ur Kiwis ready" for this otherworldly music experience.
