From the organizer:
The enigmatic Glass Beams radiates a unique brand of serpentine psychedelia rendered with cyclical riffs and dizzying melodies, drawing primary musical inspiration from his Indian heritage. Refreshingly, Glass Beams prefers to lie in relative obscurity, allowing the narrative to lie in the music itself. The debut EP Mirage is out now, through genre hoppers Research Records.
Glass Beams radiates a psychedelia rendered with cyclical riffs and dizzying melodies. Self recorded in a home studio, ‘Mirage’ is the debut release from the artist, showcasing an inclination for cosmic instrumentation, eastern scales and kraut pervaded polyrhythms, issuing four compositions that lend from a profusion of sounds and influences.
Upon release, Glass Beams ‘Mirage’ oozed onto the turntables of Gilles Peterson, The Gaslamp Killer, Trevor Jackson, NTS & Rhythm Section DJ’s and featured on BBC6’s ‘Fantastic Beats’ segment. This support culminated in the standout track ‘Taurus’ being included on the Grammy nominated Jayda G’s lauded ‘DJ Kicks’ release, with NME proclaiming Glass Beams as ‘An Essential Emerging Artist’ for 2022.
Glass Beams’ self recorded studio material awakens into an immersive live show; hypnotic renditions of the songs performed by a masked quartet. We may not know much about the enigmatic Glass Beams but ‘Mirage’ is one epic inauguration, leaving the listener with more questions than answers.
