City Of Glass

City of Glass



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.



Let’s not forget the songs – they’ve got more hooks than a thigh-length boot, but these are intelligent observations that talk about what it’s like here and 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



Lyrics on life, death, love, poverty and all things unseemly.



Get behind the city.



City of Glass are also proud to announce that they have signed a publishing deal to the record company Invisblegirl Records. This deal involves the bands first official release, which is their debut album entitled “Tales From The City”



Press



"Tales From the City" has a nice balance of dark and light with Deeaay's lyrics being the real focus. Issues of insecurity, arrogance, image, the difficulties of love and city life give the listener a real wake up call and remind us that not all songs are just broken up into happy or sad songs and that there is a lot of grey area out there"- Angie Barnes, Hullvibe User



"City Of Glass deal with issues all too common in northern industrial Britain, that of paranoia, unrest and unemployment. The band's brand of eighties inspired synth driven electronica could at its best take a seat at the vacant throne of Hot Chip" -Iain Ferry, Sandman Magazine
