Sounds of an Eccentric

Photo by Ant Adams This week's 'Track of the Week' comes from Kent trio Glass Peaks . The dynamic three piece have taken a bold DIY move with their latest single; '(Don't) Ask Me To Dance', as they've independently recorded and mixed the track.  Their ballsy move has definitely paid off, as the track is arguably their most creative work to date.

Since forming in 2016, the group have been causing a stir up and down the country, collecting countless radio plays, exploding onto the festival scene and their last single 'I'm Okay ' earned them a spot on the 'Viral Top 50' and Spotify's 'Indie List'. The track opens with an alluring guitar riff, heightened by a blanket of echoing synth, before welcoming suave vocals, engulfing the listener into an indie-pop daydream.
