From our bubble to yours...

Lockdown has limited lots of recreational activities, but at-home dance parties isn't one of them! We asked a bunch of our talented friends to party in their bubbles to our new single, following the awesome choreography of Melissa Sirpromma.

Oils And Perfume - Lockdown edition

Glass Vaults are happy to announce the release of their new single Flat White Boy, as well as opening pre-orders to their forthcoming album Sounds That Sound Like Music on limited edition New Zealand pressed yellow vinyl. 

Flat White Boy comes from the band's deep love for flat white coffees, and cafe-grade muffins.  The lyrics were inspired by a story Nile Rodgers tells about his experience producing David Bowie's track Let's Dance. When Rodgers played Bowie a new guitar part for the song, he asked "Is it too funky?". Bowie simply replied, "Can you be too Funky?". This mantra forms a central refrain in the song, and also guided the creation of the entire album. . 

Flat White Boy was written and produced by Richard Larsen, Bevan Smith and Rowan Pierce and was made with help from Erika Grant (Orchestra of Spheres) and Cory Champion (Borrowed C.S). 

The album Sounds That Sound Like Music was written and recorded at a lake house in Taupō and a cabin in the mountains of Arthur’s Pass. It will be released digitally and on limited edition New Zealand pressed yellow vinyl in October 2020. Collaborators on the album include Cory Champion (Borrowed CS), Erika Grant (Orchestra of Spheres), Tom Callwood (Phoenix Foundation), Charlotte Forrester (Womb) and Gemma Syme (Instant Fantasy).

Flat White Boy

Since their conception in 2010, merchants of bliss Glass Vaults have produced a stream of releases and transcendental live performances which have developed into a unique brand of dreamy psychedelic pop. The core of Glass Vaults is Richard Larsen, Bevan Smith and Rowan Pierce who have been joined throughout the past decade by an extended group of collaborators. The band has its roots in Wellington, but now its members are spread out between Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
 
During this time they have released an acclaimed body of work, played to capacity crowds inside drained swimming pools and humid forests, toured throughout New Zealand, Australia, U.S.A and taken up residence in New York while maintaining strong critical praise. Their early collection of EPs, written and recorded in rooms and studios throughout New Zealand, are atmosphere driven, hazy and slower paced. With the release of Sojourn (2015, Flying Out) and The New Happy (2017, Melodic Records) the band has begun to peel away a hazy veneer to reveal precision crafted pop songs with groove, immediacy and striking clarity.

2020 will see the release of Glass Vaults' third LP Sounds that sound like music which promises to push deeper in realms of avant garde pop funk.
