Glass House Point took the semantic weight of longing and rebirthed it in a transfixing tapestry of shoegaze, indietronica, post-rock, and spectral new wave synth-pop in their latest single, Never Gonna End. The Floridian outfit, who earned their stripes and seven figures of streams with Creatures, refused to rest on the coattails of past acclaim. Instead, they synthesised the future into seraphic sound.
Even if you merged the ephemeralism of Low, the heart-rendered hues of The Weeknd, and the cinematic crescendos of Mogwai into a tainted and textured with reverberant bliss tonal palette, you wouldn’t come close to the affecting propensities of Never Gonna End. Anyone who hits play will be beckoned into its mirage. The single slides away from consciousness, into a kaleidoscopic dream of honeyed harmonies, oscillating through genre nuances like a static-drenched signal from a celestial transmission. As the darkwave elements flirt on the periphery without fully eclipsing the light, Glass House Point navigate a perfectly weighted emotional duality.
With more style than the back catalogue of Vogue and more substance than a philosopher’s introspection, Glass House Point prove they’ve already moved beyond the indie threshold and are standing at the cusp of something much less definable and far more vital.
Never Gonna End is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.
