Glass Eden, the Hannover darkwave project of Sarah Egger, released the debut album “Born From A Wish” on June 17, 2026. Egger wrote, recorded, and produced the eight-track record at home, and issued it digitally through the project’s Bandcamp page.
It is the first release under the Glass Eden name, which Egger started in 2025 after years in other bands. She built the songs alone, around analog synthesizers and English-language lyrics. The solo method became the point of the record as much as its method. Egger says this: “To create a musical universe totally on my own felt empowering and like therapy during a year that was emotional and challenging.”
The arrangements rest on three synthesizers: a Korg Polysix, a Behringer Pro-800, and a Yamaha DX7. Across its eight tracks, the album moves between minimal synth, coldwave, and dreampop, using drum-machine rhythms and English-language vocals.
“Born From A Wish” runs eight tracks: “No Place”, “Between The Lines”, “Sleepless”, “No Time”, “This Night”, “Therapy”, “Leave This Place”, and “Not free”. Australian producer and mastering engineer Morgan Wright mixed and mastered the album. Daniel Egger plays guitar on “This Night”, and Nicolas Marquardt contributes the modular-synth sample on “Between The Lines”.
A video accompanies “Leave This Place”. The album is available digitally; listeners can order “Born From A Wish” on Bandcamp, and the record also streams on Spotify.
