For an artist whose work is always defined by hazy atmospheres, softened edges, restrained lushness, and understated creative brushstrokes, “Glass” sees Frank Joshua exploring such evocative and inventive sounds deeper than perhaps ever before.
Blending dream-pop with soundscaping cinematics in a way that few have done since those later, post-pop Talk Talk albums, he doesn’t just arrange music, he seems to take emotions and feelings and memories and nostalgia, turn them into sound, and weave those together. The result is a song that is as much felt as listened to.
And for a song that explores themes such as fragility and a search for inner meaning, the music is the perfect counterpoint to such intimate thoughts, a musical reflection of a soul-searching quest, the soundtrack to those moments of realization and enlightenment that only come with maturity. In short, a subtle and sensational sonic waltz through ideas of what it really means to be human.
“Glass” is the lead single from Joshua’s 5th album, and it is safe to say that if you are new to his music (and if so, you’d better have a damned good excuse), then this is the perfect place to start exploring his gorgeous sonic world.
