About Me

Glassacre is a delayed conversation between it's collective members. A kind of handing over and giving in of the constituent elements in the hope that something larger will form. The sometimes skewed pop of their first ep, "Slow Attack" , is perhaps a misleading introduction to the process that belay it - something between an exquisite corpse and frankensteins bride.

The collective will grow and shrink and the music will morph and paint with other colours. Rather than a band, this is the opportunity to be unrestrained in play and an exercise in distillation.
