It’s hard to pin down exactly what you’re hearing when listening to Glasshealer. With a mix of electronica, noise rock, and a twist of pop-punk, the band’s high energy vibes and emotional lyrics certainly deliver excitement and intrigue. Their latest single “Empty Bottles” is no different.
“Empty Bottles” feels like a more manic, less centered type of new wave. It has the same electronic waves and steady beats, but the vocals are more reminiscent of early 2000’s Brendon Urie; emotional and frequently veering towards sarcastic. The biggest impact from the song comes from its sense of urgency. It pushes you to get on your feet and do something, do anything other than staying stagnant. It’s difficult to maintain such an intense pace without overwhelming the listener, but thanks to how synced in the band is, the song keeps the tempo high and exudes good vibes simultaneously.
