The 196-page first release collects original interviews and artwork from the 2016 album era, with a limited run that treats imperfection as part of the object.
Dork has introduced Popzine, a new series of one-off print editions built around a single artist, album, scene or moment. Rather than following a fixed magazine format, each release will take a different shape, size and stock. The first entry, DRK0001, is devoted to Glass Animals and their 2016 album How To Be A Human Being.
The 196-page edition collects the publication’s original interviews with the band from between August 2016 and January 2018, gathered in one volume for the first time. It also includes photography, artwork and stories from the period. The release lands ten years after the album’s arrival on 26 August 2016, a record Dork positions as the moment Glass Animals moved from an Oxford garden shed project to wide British success.
The initial “To Be Human” Edition is limited to 200 copies. Each spine carries a missing letter and a hand-annotated correction, struck through in pen one at a time. Dork describes the deliberate imperfection as a reference to the album’s flawed characters and the broader mess of being human. Copies are available at The Mildmay Club tonight and online next week while they last.
