Glassy is the lead single from Karate, Guns & Tanning's upcoming second album, Krisis Genre, set for release in May 2025. The track offers a polished distillation of the band’s psychedelic-infused blend of shoegaze and dreampop, showcasing their continued evolution in both production and sound. It picks up seamlessly from where they left off with their album Concrete Beach back in 2021.
The band comments: "There's this idea that time is a superfluid -- it moves without friction, so the past reaches the present untouched. This song reflects on how our inner worlds are shaped by experiences and the struggle to keep going despite everything life throws at us. Harnessing time, holding onto your passion, keeping that momentum and still finding fulfillment in creating art through all of life's changes -- that's a powerful thing."
Based on the look and sound of this first release, Karate, Guns & Tanning return with a fully realized creative vision and plenty to offer.
