For this second album from British alternative rockers Glass Animals, the band created a cast of fictitious characters from all walks of life and built different stories around them, turning each story into a song. The group's singer and songwriter Dave Bayley invented elaborate backgrounds for every character, imagining their jobs, hobbies, homes and styles of furniture, which helped him better understand their thinking in order to write these songs. Actors were then hired to portray the characters on the cover art and in videos. The album includes the top 20 alternative radio hit "Life Itself".

Hi. My name is Mishka. I am a singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, voice teacher and part time massage therapist, living between two incredibly vibrant cities : London and Berlin. The music I play is hard for me to describe, but it brings together the genres I love –jazz, folk, and music from all over Brazil – through a number of different projects. I love collaborating with other musicians and I consider myself lucky enough to have a musical family of people I have worked with over the span of many years and over several countries – England, Germany, The Philippines and Brazil – and who I continue to work with and be inspired by. Most recently, I released an album in the UK with the great Pete Churchill called Stories to Tell. It is a collection of incredible songs written by Pete that we recorded with an astonishing group of musicians: Mark Lockheart, Adriano Adewale and Ben Barritt. I am also working on a new duo project in Berlin with one of my favourite piano players in the world, Pedro Carneiro Silva. We are in the middle of co-writing for an album that we hope to record in 2016.

"The Will to Live" is a 1997 album by Ben Harper which showed his continuing folk-centric focus, while at the same time expanding on his rock talents. The record would yield his first UK Top 75 single, Faded. To date it remains his only UK single entry. This was his second album with the Innocent Criminals as backing band.
