This morning Glass Animals have released the latest edition of their ‘Dreamland’ remix series, teaming up with rising star Oliver Malcolm for a fresh take on their 2019 single ‘Tokyo Drifting’. This follows previous remixes of ‘Tangerine’ with Arlo Park, ‘Heat Waves’ with iann dior and ‘Space Ghost Coast To Coast’ with Bree Runway. Alongside today’s remix release, Dave from Glass Animals has also teamed up with Oliver Malcolm for Episode #4 of his ‘Cereal Bars’ YouTube series. Watch the episode here .
‘Tokyo Drifting’ is taken from ‘Dreamland’, the band’s hugely popular third full-length album which entered Australia album charts #6 and saw the band take out top spot in the 2020 Triple J Hottest 100 with their hit ‘Heat Waves’. This was one of three tracks to chart in the 2020 countdown alongside ‘Tangerine’ at #18 and ‘Your Love (Déjà vu)’ at #51. Glass Animals also came in at #34 in the 2019 Hottest 100 countdown with the original version of ‘Tokyo Drifting’ with Denzel Curry.
Oliver Malcolm is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who recently release his debut EP ‘Are You Living In The Real World’. He got his start early, teaching himself how to spin records at 12 years old. Shortly after, he downloaded Logic and taught himself how to produce – working with IDK, Aluna George, Joey Bada$$, Jay Rock, Masego, Tinashe and more. Now twenty, Oliver has developed his own voice. Touching everything from the production, vocals, songwriting, engineering, mixing and mastering, Oliver’s sound is unique and does not fit the mold of one genre. Quick to be praised by the likes of New York Times, TIME Magazine, Pigeons & Planes, Interview Magazine, CLASH, NME and more, Oliver Malcolm is priming his trajectory to be a long and critical one. A multidisciplinary at heart, this is just the beginning of what music lovers can look forward to from the new artist.
