CUT GLASS KINGS: A fuse to the fire they’ve never understood…
CONJOURING the magic from a Black Country cellar, the CUT GLASS KINGS announce an eleven-track album, ‘From A Distant Place,’ set for release via Run On Records, in February 2025, an album painted with a broad palette of heady, shoegaze psych, and glam alt-rock.
And the duo – Paul Cross and Greg McMurray – have made their latest single, ‘At The Borderline,’ available now.
“The song is almost like the bridge from our first record to this one,” said McMurray. “It shares some of its DNA. I remember Paul sending me the voice note of the chorus and think it’s one of our best. “We’re the fuse to a fire we’ve never understood” is about the two of us making music. A lot of the lyrics on the album are about that.”
The five-year period since their release of their self-titled debut album (on The Coral’s James Skelly’s own label) has found Cross and McMurray deep in introspective writing and analogue recording processes, switched onto sounds from Eels to John Grant, and Ty Segall to Timber Timbre, while not forgetting late-Beatles and Electric Warrior-era T-Rex.
‘From A Distant Place’ was mixed by Skelly and Chris Taylor (The Coral, Blossoms, Courteeners), at Liverpool’s Kempston Street Studios.
