Description
Glasvegas are back with their amazing fourth album, 'Godspeed'. It'll be digitally released on April 2nd, 2021 - exactly the music we need now. The single 'Shake The Cage (für Theo)' perfectly shows the diverse sound of 'Godspeed'. It's an electronic blast with powerful spoken - word lyrics, reminding us of 'I’m Gonna Get Stabbed' from their debut.
This single is featured at the end credits of Alan McGee’s new movie 'Creation Stories', written by Irvine Welsh and executive - produced by Danny Boyle. Hand - picked for the music mogul’s biopic, it's a dystopian, free - associative sermon set to a John Carpenter - like atmosphere.
Released on their own label, Go Wow Records, 'Godspeed' takes place at sunset. The album paints a fragmented picture of an evening, like 'American Graffiti'. Each song is unique, allowing James Allan to experiment freely.
James Allan is a true artist. His refusal to follow conventions makes Glasvegas hard to categorize. Tracks like 'Shake The Cage (für Theo)', 'Keep Me A Space' and 'My Body Is A Glasshouse (A Thousand Stones Ago)' are proof.
James spent seven agonizing years making this album, from Sweden to his Glasgow studio during lockdown. He follows his heart and instincts, and this album has helped him understand himself better.
From techno to sing - along anthems, 'Godspeed' captures the unique Glasvegas essence - unmatched, uncategorizable, and meaningful music. Welcome back, Glasvegas, we really need you!
