Paranoia. Unrest. Unemployment. Society on the edge of ruin. The state against the individual. Sounds like eighties, doesn't it? But it's now.
That's why Hull-based City of Glass are a relevant, exciting new voice that must be heard. Driven by an eighties-nostalgic synth engine, all rippling arpeggios and robotic interjections, interwoven with wiry and insolent guitars, and underpinned by bass and drums that are simultaneously danceable and threatening ‐ this is music that has been waiting to happen. And let's not forget the songs ‐ they've got more hooks than a fishing tackle box, but these are intelligent observations that talk about what it's like here, now. Singer Deeaay sounds like he's been there, come back and now he's going to make you listen, by force if necessary. Remember social commentary you can dance to? City of Glass have eaten it up and spat it back at us. We need this.
More details about City Of Glass and Tales from The City.
The group are a four piece line up from Hull in the UK. They've recorded and mixed all the songs on the album playing synths as well as traditional instruments.
