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, New Zealand but now its members are spread 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 into the realms of avant garde pop funk.
