Taking an anti-Brexit stance, the year’s fourth release from Glass Peaks is a powerful, aggressive, psychedelic tune called ‘Architect’. Their sound remains unique, with an adventurous spin on their style pushing their genre boundaries further. Lead vocalist Alfie Jefferies says of the track: “’Architect’ is quite aggressive from the get-go. There's no real smoothness to it and because of the songs subject matter, I wanted it to ooze attitude. It was important for me to really be able to spit those words out with venom, because I'm talking about things that genuinely frustrate me to my core”. The post punk sound is heightened by crunchy guitars and powerful drumming, with an unexpectedly catchy vocal line taking centre stage. Their next energetic London show is on January 31^st. - Dan Peeke
