As Glass Museum prepare to release their much anticipated third album Reflet through Sdban Ultra on April 29th, they now entice us with a new single called ‘Ellipse’. “In geometry, an ellipse is a closed plane curve obtained through the intersection of a turning cone and a plan”, the band explains. “This geometric element is a reference to the mathematical and scientific elements within our music, its electronic dimension and the broader visual concept of our album ‘Reflet’”. Lend your ears to ‘Ellipse’ now.

Belgian instrumental duo Glass Museum have announced the release of Reflet, the follow-up to their phenomenal 2020 album Reykjavik. With an ability to daringly and seamlessly merge classical music with other genres like jazz, breakbeat, minimal techno and deep house, on the upcoming record, keyboardist Antoine Flipo and drummer Martin Grégoire further cement their duality as a foundational element. Reflet, describes the press release, “is an odyssey running through troubled times, an ode to night time, to life, dreams and to all rhythms that convey emotions beyond words.”

The album will be released on April 29th through Sdban Ultra label and ahead of it, Glass Museum have shared the title track as the first single. It comes with a fittingly stunning video directed by Cyprien Delire and you can watch it below.

With the imminent release of Reykjavik this Friday, Belgian instrumental duo Glass Museum are teasing the album with a new cut from it, ‘Clothing’. Speaking about the track, the pair had this to say:

“Clothing was composed as a live remix of our formal track ‘Opening’, the opening piece on our first album “DEUX”. The idea was to give ‘Opening’ another dimension when playing live by accelerating the arpeggiator of the original track and by adding a groovy, downtempo beat on the first part, and secondly to conclude our live performances with a regular techno beat that would give an electronic /dancy sensation. After re-thinking the final result, we decided to give that version its own life in the studio and it became ‘Clothing’, deflecting ‘Closing’ to a tribute to the orange cloth presented on our album cover”.

‘Clothing’ comes with an accompanying video directed by Simon Medard and you can watch it below.

Reykjavik is out on April 24th through Sdban Ultra

Glass Museum, the Belgian instrumental duo of Antoine Flipo and Martin Grégoire, are set to release their somophore album, Reykjavik, next month, following their 2018 debut Deux. Merging classical music, electronics and jazz, on the upcoming album, the pair’s duality remains their foundational element. “Antoine has this epic side in everything he does, including composition,” says Grégoire. “He’s also got the skill to translate a more classical tradition in a contemporary way.” Speaking about Grégoire, Flipo said he “has the ability to adapt to anything. There’s a lot more percussion on this album, because we have a very open dialogue between us that allows him to take over any kind of sound.”

Ahead of Reykjavik‘s release on April 24th through Sdban Ultra, Glass Museum have shared a wonderful new single, ‘Abyss’, and a self-directed accompanying video. Watch it below.
