GLASFROSCH

Glasfrosch biography
GLASFROSCH is a unique animal. Exploring pop music forms through sound art, jazz, cinema, poetry, noise, dance and punk, GLASFROSCH make music that is colourful, dreamlike, and challenging. Using ambient sounds, synths, and angular beats, FX drenched guitars and jazz heavy piano, with lyrics heavily influenced by surrealist writing techniques, sci-fi and zen, GLASFROSCH is about change and surprise, music that subverts expectations.

GLASFROSCH began with the solo experimental studio work of vocalist/multi instrumentalist Justin ASHWORTH in 2009, creating the initial works which would later become the ensembles debut record "if you go far enough into the sky you'll come out underwater". The project evolved to include Adam RUDEGEAIR on piano, Rhodes, synths and melodica and James WINGARD on drums and electronic percussion.

"if you go far enough into the sky you'll come out underwater" received high praise, and the band have gone on to share stages with artists such as Damo SUZUKI and Pantha DU PRINCE, as well as collaborating on a live show with with ARCKO SYMPHONIC ENSEMBLE.

2013 album by GLASFROSCH is "Aubades", and it sees the group exploring a much more progressive, rhythmic musical direction. "Aubades" is part one of a two part thematic album, with part two, "Nocturnes", released in 2015.
