Glass Vaults are Richard Larsen, Bevan Smith and Rowan Pierce. Since their conception in 2010, they have produced a stream of releases and transcendental live performances developing a unique brand of dreamy psychedelic pop. Conceived in Wellington, New Zealand, the band’s members currently reside in three different cities: Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. They come together, often in remote locations, to write and record. Community and collaboration are important aspects of Glass Vaults’ sound, which continues to develop and change.
Over the last decade, Glass Vaults has released an acclaimed body of work, played to capacity crowds inside drained swimming pools and humid forests, toured throughout New Zealand, Australia, and the US, and taken up residence in New York. Their early collection of EPs, written and recorded in rooms and studios throughout New Zealand are atmosphere-driven, hazy and slower paced, while the bands three full length LPs: Sojourn 2015, The New Happy 2017 and Sounds That Sound Like Music 2020 have peeled away a hazy veneer to reveal off kilter pop songs with striking clarity.
Their new album, Sounds That Sound Like Music, pushes deeper into the realms of dreamy disco-funk. STSLM was written and recorded at a series of retreats, including a lake house in Taupō and a cabin in the mountains of Arthur’s Pass, and includes guest appearances and collaborations with Cory Champion (Borrowed CS), Erika Grant (Orchestra of Spheres), Tom Callwood (Phoenix Foundation), Charlotte Forrester (Womb) and Gemma Syme (Instant Fantasy).
