GLASSING Drop Official Live Video For "Doppler"

Last month saw the release of Glassing's third studio album, Twin Dream. Today, the band premiere their live video for the song "Doppler" from the record. The new video was directed by Jonny Underwood and filmed at the band's album release show in Austin, TX at Hotel Vegas.

Speaking on the live video, the band shares: "There was a lot of premeditation and meticulousness for most of the tracks on Twin Dream. For what it's worth, 'Doppler' was not one of them. It was our intention that it should be crude and unpolished."

They go on to add, "It seemed fitting that 'Doppler's' makeshift structure gave rise to the lyrical content being about the remorselessness of death. Maybe untimely, maybe undeserved, it cannot be changed and is primal in nature. The repeated line 'like a jewel in a bed of fog' alludes to our period of usefulness being smothered behind a veil of expiration."

Twin Dream, available via Brutal Panda Records, was recorded with Andrew Hernandez (This Will Destroy You, Balmorhea, The Sword, Mammoth Grinder) in a remote Texas studio replete with crumbling infrastructure and the ghosts of country troubadours echoing amongst the walls.

Elements of post-hardcore, black metal, noise rock, ambient, shoegaze, and doom swirl together to create a rich palette of mood and textures across 11 tracks that ruminate on splintered realities, altered consciousness, and esoteric philosophy. While the world burned on the outside, the music took on an entirely new meaning and those that survived the nightmare were left with a newfound sense of hope amongst the bleak reality. Twin Dream is the archetypal soundtrack to these end of times.
