Glass Beach Announce New Album 'Plastic Death': Hear "Rare Animal"

We've Got A File On You

Back in 2019, the Los Angeles quasi-emo experimentalists Glass Beach released their first album, which was helpfully titled the first glass beach album. Around that same time, Glass Beach became a Stereogum Band To Watch. Since then, they’ve released a remix LP, as well as a string of covers and loosies. Last month, the band released a single called “the CIA” and today they’ve shared another new track. Both appear on a new album, plastic death, coming in January. Animal Ear Tag

Glass Beach Announce New Album

Like “the CIA,” the new song “Rare Animal” is a little less frantically experimental than past Glass Beach records. It’s a proggy indie rock number with rushing percussion and big, cascading melodies. This time around the band’s lyrics concern the 1971 disappearance of DB Cooper. Check it out below.
