Glass America began in 2008 with a vision of rejecting the formulaic structures and textures that typify much of Post-rock.

Their debut album Redivivus, are out now.

In If I forget you, O Jerusalem, the shorter track that follows, Glass America celebrate that they might be 2009′s best newcomers with impressive guitar playing, ending in an awesome crescendo, so that the subsequent piano can sound even more fragile.
