Can we ever go back to the way things were? Back when one country’s President didn’t threaten to annex another—when war-torn news coverage wasn’t the norm? However far back you want to go, “Glass,” the debut single from Los Angeles’ Logo, drops you into an unfathomably deep and catchy atmosphere.
The track kicks off with a trip-hop-infused drum ‘n’ bass beat, layered with a ‘90s-esque piano line and a catchy R&B-tinged vocal hook: “thinking of running away.” It quickly morphs into a hazy indie pop banger. Jangly, reverb-soaked post-punk guitar trickles in, sometimes even diving into shoegaze—until Logo’s ethereal vocal layering pulls it back. In less than three minutes, the song packs in an incredible amount of texture and movement.
The music video mirrors this nostalgic energy, resembling a ‘90s-era home video. Shaky, spliced memories flash over moving images of beaches and trees. For a split second, we see the creator, Lauren Gold, smiling into the camera in faded black and white. The whole video plays like flipping through a personal photo album at lightning speed.
Gold, already a known presence in LA and New York’s DJ scenes, also hosts a show on KCHUNG Radio in LA. As Logo, they promise even more restless indietronica beats in the future.
