The 3rd single from Godspeed. A theme of nihilism and self-destruction courses through the abrasive garage-rock of new track - Dying to Live, asking “Why do I do what I do when I do? / I was empty, I was bleeding, so fuck you.” It’s song about chasing a feeling you know is killing you,” explains James, “maybe it’s something warped or irrational, but it’s an impulse familiar to everyone.”

The 2nd single from Godspeed…
“…one night when I was walking home from the studio, there was a young girl that was walking towards me. There’s a certain park between the studio and my house and sometimes you see prostitutes there. This one girl was probably about 15 or so and I was walking past her and it kinda stuck in my head until I got home. I started to imagine a broken glass house and that’s the night when I wrote the song.”
The first new release in over 7 years and the first single from the forthcoming new album “Godspeed”. Originally written for a grieving relative, someone for whom, “from one day to the next, something changed and it couldn’t be fixed, couldn’t be brought back,” Keep Me a Space is peak Glasvegas, one of those songs that seem capable of breaking your heart and putting it back together again.
Recorded live at Spotify HQ in Stockholm, this intimate exclusive stripped back session captures the poetic beauty and elegance of the songs of Glasvegas
A glorious, yearning treatise on romantic regret…about wanting to keep something together but being unable to. Two people; one’s on a sinking ship and one’s on a raft, moving away. A really sad song.
A staggeringly emotive 42 minute sojourn through broken relationships and “the mad energy” of the world, a scorching soundscape for the band’s third studio album.
A pealing, poetic discourse on life’s cruel dichotomies “If” melds the beauty of life’s peaks and troughs…’if not for rain, the sun would never split the skies again’
