OUT NOW VIA GLASS AIR RECORDS
‘DRINK THE SEA’ 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
SLATED FOR MAY 2020
L.A.-based trio, The Glitch Mob have returned to the release radar with Chemicals, an inspired 3-track EP ahead of the 10th anniversary of their groundbreaking 2010 debut album, Drink the Sea. The band has also unveiled brand-new music videos for each track from the EP. Despite the recent postponement of their 36-date North American tour, Ed Ma (edIT), Josh Mayer (ooah), and Justin Boreta are gifting their dedicated fanbase with new music, rife with sonically enriching analog lines and inspired vocal cuts. The Chemicals EP is out now across all platforms via Glass Air Records.
Serving as The Glitch Mob’s first solo EP since 2015’s 'Piece of the Indestructible', Chemicals takes the listener on a nine-and-a-half-minute rollercoaster of sound. The lead track kicks off with stabbing synths and rolling melodies, teetering between low and high-pitched melodious vocals. The consistent basslines accentuate a steady intensity, setting a precedent for the rest of the EP. Their trademark sound can be heard throughout ‘Take Control’, which ups the ante, taking the tone of the release in a more bass-heavy percussive direction, with build-ups that effectively take control with thunderous resonance. Lastly, ‘The Stance’ bookends the EP with unwavering, brooding drops built for the live arena, or heavy headphone listening.
