American fans are find Oxford, U.K., psych-poppers Glass Animals … well, sticky. And it figures for a band whose breakout single “Gooey” waxes sexy about “peanut butter vibes.” The quartet — Dave Bayley, Edmund Irwin-Singer, Drew McFarlane and Joe Seward — followed up their Saturday set to a packed Gobi Tent at Coachella with a equally slammed show Wednesday night at the Fonda Theatre, where fans fell into two categories: Either they danced or they made out.

As their set settled into a warm, woozy electro-R&B vibe, frontman David Bayley was amped up, cavorting all over the stage and eventually leaping into the crowd and making his way almost to the soundboard. Glass Animal performed all but one track from their only album, “Taba,” released last June. As they did at Coachella, Glass Animals finished the night with a cover of Kanye West’s “Love Lockdown” and the song “Pools.”

Gabriel Garzón-Montano opened the night.
