   The GH website (www.glasshammer.com) is now accepting pre-orders for autographed copies of "IF" which releases on 9/14/10.  

Babb and Schendel are back with a brand new lineup and an album of 
epic-length prog tracks. The 2010 release “IF” marks the band’s return 
to classic symphonic-progressive rock; an album sure to please fans of 
the group’s earlier releases Chronometree, Lex Rex and The Inconsolable 
Secret. Pipe organs, Hammond solos, Moogs, Mellotrons – all the 
trademark sounds are back in place.

But “IF” is no simple rehashing of previous Glass Hammer efforts. With 
the addition of vocalist Jon Davison, jazz-rock guitarist Alan Shikoh 
and session drummer Randall Williams, Glass Hammer co-founders Steve 
Babb and Fred Schendel have “hit the reset button” and taken their music
 to an entirely new level.

The sixty-six minute opus features six tracks, culminating in the 
twenty-four minute long “If The Sun”, mastering by the legendary Bob 
Katz of Digital Domain, and stunning art-work by German designer Tom 
Kuhn.
