Switzerland-based alternative rock output Glaascats marks a major milestone with the arrival of their new single “Anesthesia” alongside their mesmerising album ‘Dust’. Based in Fribourg, the band operates with a completely independent vision by recording, mixing, and designing every element of their work themselves. This self-produced approach allows their sound to oscillate between darkness and light while maintaining a sincere and human core. The new material reflects a bolder approach to texture and nuance than previous sessions.
The lead single “Anesthesia” nearly disappeared during the recording process after being composed in fragments over two years. It survived to become a song defined by persistence, evolution, and quiet strength. The track carries a sense of isolation that eventually gives way to a powerful release. This record sounds like a profound journey through fragility and force. An accompanying music video follows a solitary figure attempting to break free from a bubble to reconnect with the world.
The full-length album ‘Dust’ captures two transformative years of travel, changing seasons, and the link between humanity and nature. Written as a journey through doubt and discovery, the project focuses on the fleeting poetry of everyday life. Glaascats now looks beyond their Swiss roots to share this luminous and textured world with global audiences. The music remains true to their instinctive creative drive while layering complex-yet-subtle arrangements throughout each track.
