A MYSTERIOUSLY INTERESTING SOUNDSCAPE JOURNEYING YOU THROUGH GENRES!
My Glass World’s latest single, You Can Feel It Coming, ushers listeners into a hauntingly beautiful sonic realm, serving as a tantalizing preview of their upcoming album, Stranded Assets. Released on December 6, 2024, this track is a masterful fusion of reverberating synths, eerie arrangements, and driving vocals, layered with Sean Read’s electrifying saxophone solos. The result is a soundscape that feels both urgent and ethereal, captivating fans of genre-blurring artistry.
The lyrics, penned by the band’s creative force Jamie Telford, delve into the darker corners of human experience with a poetic depth:
“You can feel it coming
Night after sullen night
An ocean of ash
Like a poisoned rain”
These evocative lines, paired with the track’s shifting sonic textures, paint a vivid picture of looming chaos and unease; a broken world on the brink, yet impossibly mesmerizing. The accompanying video further amplifies this sensation, creating a multi-sensory experience that pulls viewers deeper into the song’s enigmatic narrative.
You Can Feel It Coming is the third release from Stranded Assets, following Compassion For Animals and Always Another Train. Together, these tracks showcase a versatility that defies categorization, weaving elements of rock, jazz, pop, and eerie synth into a cohesive whole. The single’s haunting melodies and layered production continue to solidify My Glass World’s reputation as musical alchemists who thrive on exploring contrasts: the calm and the chaotic, the reflective and the intense.
Thematically, the song resonates with the album’s overarching motifs of despair, perseverance, and a desire for change amidst the modern world’s upheavals. With a name referencing investments rendered obsolete, Stranded Assets is set to offer listeners a reflective yet defiant perspective on life in turbulent times.
For fans of artists like Radiohead and The Smiths, My Glass World’s music feels like a rare gem that’s deeply atmospheric, emotionally potent, and intellectually stimulating. If You Can Feel It Coming is any indication, Stranded Assets promises to be an album of sharp teeth and profound impact.
