The South Lanarkshire and Glasgow (via Hungary) quartet have been making waves of late with their brand of gothic rock ‘n’ roll. They are made up of Rebecca Burns (vocals, guitar, & synth), Michael Farrell (bass guitar & synth). Paul Curran (guitar, synth, & backing vocals), and Tamas Peto (drums).
Let’s take a look at what they got up to in 2021:
The Final Call
With the synths of Twist Helix and the distressing licks worthy of early New Order and The Cure, Glass Raspberry announce themselves as serious songwriters with a depth of vision few can match.
Burns’ sublime vocals carve a way through murky landscapes as a gesture of hope. Life’s pressing battles to fade into the ether as her soul-cum-ethereal tone grows in stature.
I See You
What begins as solid rock number, crashes into life a third of the way in. Haunting vocals and death-defying drums act as a hyperspace jump to The Cure-inspired set of guitars. Utterly drool-worthy licks are met with a devastating Desperate Journalist bassline in the closing stages. The eruption of noise further cementing this as a colossal fire breathing single!
Glass Raspberry are playing part of This Feeling’s #Bigin2022 Saturday 21st January.
