Glasszone, the coldwave project from Orléans, France, released the four-track EP “Lights” on May 16, 2026. The EP is available on Bandcamp, Spotify, Deezer, iTunes, Amazon Music and YouTube Music.
“Lights” runs four tracks: “Lights”, “The Void’s Echo”, “A Strange Feeling” and “Pictures”, all written by Glasszone. The EP carries the coldwave, gothic rock, deathrock, post-punk and shoegaze tags. On the release, Glasszone describes the setting as the misty banks of the Loire, where the project explores a dark and melodic coldwave built from incisive guitars, heavy rhythms and low vocals, moving between melancholy and a quiet tension.
Glasszone’s ‘Lights’ EP continues a coldwave catalogue rooted in the Loire
The four songs on “Lights” keep to the icy, hypnotic register that has defined Glasszone’s catalogue since its debut, pairing sharp guitar lines with heavier rhythm parts and deep, restrained vocals.
