The shadow that emerged from one man's soul.

City Of Glass formed 20 years ago in the back bedroom of my rented house on Ash Grove in Hull. Myself and my much younger brother, Phil Mower, began writing songs on a borrowed 4 track and an early version of Cubase. We didn’t know what we were doing, or how to do it. We had a few samples and loops, a cheap guitar, a djx and no songs. But somehow we managed to write an entire album filled with 11 songs. It was called Tiny Human Feelings. It was “very low-fi" but we thought it had some good songs so we thought we’d put it out for free on cd. This meant creating and printing sleeves and copying the album to cd one at a time. Armed with 700 copies we then walked into Lamp, Adelphi, Beasleys etc and asked if we could hand them out, put them behind the bar. Graciously they let us. We did this with all the albums we made: Small Town Mentality, If You Don’t Like it Then Leave, After The Fallout & Fables etc. Thousands of cds paid for by us and given away for free in bars and eventually gigs.

The cds got around and we finally met people throughout the years who helped us play this stuff live; lots of people. We played a lot of great gigs over the years in Hull and around the country. Radio play here and there. We kept going and eventually got a deal with Manchester Label, Invisible Girl Records. We released an album "Tales From The City" and single "The Apologist" with them which made its slow way around the planet. 

Then things imploded. And the band disappeared. 

So why return? Simply the songs. 6 albums were released and hundreds of other songs we never got around to were left on cds, hard drives and desktops. The songs still feel fresh, alive and relevant. The other reason is to preserve the songs. We formed when MySpace was king, Pirate Bay sailed illegal seas, CD's still existed, digital was in its infancy and bandcamp and Spotify did not hold power. In short, when City of glass shattered, most of the songs disappeared, faded, left only on the 1000s of cds we gave away for free, no doubt scratched, cracked and broken. 

We felt the songs deserved a second chance and a place to call home. 

So, 20 Years Later we have been working on the songs again. Re-recording some, reproducing, tweaking, curating and finished some older ideas off. We are going to put some of these songs out into the world again. Get a band together and play some gigs. Hopefully we’ll get to see a lot of old and new faces. Hopefully the songs will live again and find a new life.
