I Don't Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance) serves as the lead single from Glass Animals' deluxe album Dreamland (+ Bonus Levels).

On the new single, songwriter and producer Dave Bayley said: "It felt like we were all put in a pressure cooker, but there was no way to let out the steam.

"That's what this track is about - that pressure cooker exposing and expanding so many cracks, but struggling to fill them in and decompress."

I Don't Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance) will also be Tune of the Weekend on BBC Radio 1 this weekend, and has been added to the station's playlist at the B List rank.

Since forming in 2010, Glass Animals have released three studio albums, 2014's Zaba and 2016's How To Be A Human Being, which peaked at Number 23 on the Official Albums Chart and was nominated for the 2017 Mercury Prize. Last year their third album Dreamland debuted at Number 2 becoming their highest-charting effort to date.
