Sharing her affecting, powerful and comically intriguing new EP – Alicia Glass shares Close/Open, a raw and captivating exploration of trailer park life and the monotony that often defines it. With a sound she aptly describes as "dirtbag dream rock," Glass blends gritty grunge influences with introspective lyrics, creating a sonic landscape that is both familiar and refreshingly unique.
"This EP is for anyone who's ever felt trapped in the grind, dreaming of something more," says Glass. "It's about finding hope and humour in the midst of chaos." – Alicia Glass
The EP's lead single, "Burrito," sets the tone with its brooding guitars and Glass's powerful vocals. Tracks like "I Live in the Garage" showcase the EP's punk spirit, raging against the struggles of the cost of living with an intensity that is both cathartic and thought-provoking. Throughout "Close/Open," Glass's songwriting shines. Her lyrics are poetic and evocative, painting vivid pictures of the dreams, frustrations, and resilience of those living on the fringes. The EP's emotional depth is impressive, capturing the full spectrum of human experience within its runtime. There's some genuinely laughable moments in the lyrics, as Glass explores her love for Burritos and living in her neighbours garage..
"Close/Open" is a remarkable debut from an artist with a unique perspective and a powerful voice. Alicia Glass is a name to watch in the alternative rock scene, and this EP is a testament to her talent and potential.
