Glassmaps: My Head My Heart

Glassmaps es el proyecto al que Joel Stein dedica su tiempo y energía creativa como solista y, tras un año en el que realizara una gira de soporte al lanzamiento de su álbum debut, ya prepara su segundo disco, de manera tal que, como anticipo, es su nuevo sencillo el primer adelanto de lo que será este material.

My Head My Heart es ese sentimiento que te embarga cuando no hay nada más que hacer y…

Glassmaps es el alías que Joel Stein, guitarrista en Howling Bells, se inventara hace ya 5 años para dar salida a sus creaciones como solista, teniendo a bien presentar su Strangely Addicted en este 2017.

Summer Rain es una de esas canciones que pasan por tu mente mientras esperas que el momento haga lo mismo pues las circunstancias, junto con los presentes, podrían desembocar en algo embarazoso…

It is easy to instantly fall for “Strangely Addicted”. Hard. The track wraps you in a blanket of sonic beauty with its charming chord progression, majestic instrumentation and its bright, powerful vocals. There is something grande and clearly mesmerizing going on, something The Beatles of ’67 might have done, if they found themselves in 2017.

“Strangely Addicted” is the title song of Glassmaps‘ upcoming debut album, released November 10 by Lost In The Manor Records. UK-based Australian Joel Stein, lead guitarist in the much-loved Howling Bell chose the moniker Glassmaps for his solo project. We were smitten by “Summer Rain” earlier this year already, and are excited to exclusively premiere “Strangely Addicted” today.

On his record, Joel Stein offers autobiographical lyrics that speak of universal themes such as life, love and loss. Asked about the album’s title song, the artist provides:

“Strangely Addicted – You don’t care how wrong the relationship is, you just want it. The ambiguity is a turn on.”

If every ambiguity results in a track as gorgeous as “Strangely Addicted”, we are golden! Listen to our Song Premiere now:
