An introduction to Adam Scott Glasspool
- News
On Dreams Adam’s debut EP is released on 13th July. Previously Adam has served in SWiM, and electronic outfit Thermoluminescence. This time it’s the acoustic solo musician that shines through on some sweet songs.
Talking about the EP Adam says “these are the kind of songs that I could have only written now, really. I’ve been writing songs for a while, and after so much practice these are the ones that I felt didn’t need so much dressing up. Plus I just needed to get them out of my system a little bit. So I just got a guitar and recorded them.”
On Dreams was recorded in Adam’s own Blue Room studio in Southampton and the finishing touches and final mixes were completed in the Bunker with long time collaborator and frequent band mate William Bowles. “
On Dreams will be released on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and basically anywhere else you can think of. The CD release will be available exclusively through Adam’s BandCamp. Page where there will also be a special edition, which is limited to one copy and features the EP on CD housed in Adam’s original notebook, in which he wrote the songs.
July Shows:
23rd - The Village, London
27th - 10 Feet Tall, Cardiff
30th - The Talking Heads, Southampton
