Prepare to embark on a cosmic journey with Melbourne's enigmatic outfit Glass Beams and their debut album "Mirage." With a penchant for intergalactic instrumentation and kaleidoscopic rhythms, Glass Beams invites listeners on a sonic odyssey through a myriad of influences and sounds.

Recorded in the dawn of 2020, "Mirage" serves as the inaugural release from Glass Beams, offering four mesmerizing compositions that defy conventional genres. Drawing inspiration from a diverse array of musical traditions, the album weaves together elements of disco, jazz, funk, and world music into a captivating tapestry of sound.

"I was seeking fresh energy and inspiration to compose new music. A childhood memory of watching 'Concert For George' sparked something within me. The sounds of an Indian Orchestra from that concert lingered in my mind. With my father hailing from India, I delved into the rich musical heritage of his homeland, exploring Indian classical, disco, and pop music. The vision crystallized, and the songs flowed effortlessly," shares Glass Beams.

The journey begins with the ethereal opener and title track "Mirage," where coiling vocal mantras intertwine with hypnotic basslines and transcendent synths, evoking the spirit of 70s prog-rock infused with a futuristic twist. "Taurus" follows suit, blending spaghetti-western motifs with cosmic jazz elements, setting the stage for the exhilarating "Kong," a sonic expedition fueled by psych-fusion guitar phrases and otherworldly instrumentation. Closing the album is "Rattlesnake," a spellbinding finale that ventures into intergalactic realms with its mesmerizing scales and enchanting riffs.

Though the enigmatic Glass Beams shroud themselves in relative obscurity, their music speaks volumes, radiating with psychedelic fervor and dizzying melodies. "Mirage" marks a remarkable debut, leaving listeners spellbound and craving more from this enigmatic musical collective. Embark on this sonic odyssey and prepare to be transported to new dimensions of sound and sensation.
