The Australian music label, Hidden Shoal Recordings, today announced the release of the single ‘September 16th’ by Australian dream popsters Glassacre.
‘September 16th’ sees Glassacre at the height of their craft. The track is a tightly woven, intimately crafted piece of textured pop. Guitars coated in dark honey play against rolling drums as Chris Mason’s haunting vocals ring out across an altered twilight. As the song rallies to a kind of defeated triumph with the repeated vocal line “This is your stop”, everything shifts and the track takes a sharp 90 degree turn into a dark corridor. In true Glassacre style, ‘September 16th’ manages to discretely bridge together two disparate emotional landscapes leaving the listener without view of their origin. – Press Release Excerpt
‘September 16th’ is available now exclusively from the HSR Store and is bundled with the bonus track ‘Sanctuary’. Both tracks are lifted from the forthcoming Glassacre album Without Sleep to be released in the first quarter of 2008.
