about glass beach
glass beach is a band based out of the Seattle, Washington area. Their first album, “the first glass beach album” was released independently in 2019 and rereleased on Run For Cover records the following year. Their second album, “plastic death” will release on January 19th, 2024.
The band first formed in 2016 when J McClendon, who had been releasing solo music under the name casio dad and was looking for other musicians to form a live band, moved into an apartment in Los Angeles with bassist Jonas Newhouse and drummer William White, who had discovered casio dad on their college radio station and connected with J online. The trio would play a handful of shows around LA while working on developing J’s demos into an album. After years of writing and recording in their apartment and practice space (which was shared with several other bands), using audio equipment borrowed from the warehouse where Jonas and William worked, a drumkit borrowed from a friend, and every bit of spare time they could find, their album, titled “the first glass beach album”, would be released independently to little fanfare outside of their family, friends, and fans of the trio’s previous projects. However, over time word spread of glass beach online, and the record started to develop a cult following as fans praised its scrappy yet adventurous production, its oversized ambition, and its unflinchingly honest depiction of queer life and mental illness as mediated through the internet. Soon enough, a couple of independent record labels took notice, and the band, now with guitarist Layne Smith (who had been initially brought on to play J’s lead guitar parts live but quickly became a core member) would ultimately sign with Run For Cover Records, who rereleased the album in 2020 and sent the band off on their first tour from Los Angeles to Seattle.
glass beach returned from this tour to find the world had turned upside down. The Covid-19 pandemic was spreading fast, and a lockdown was instated, effectively putting the band on pause as J now lived separate from the other three members which made band practices impossible. Unsure of how to proceed, they tried many different experiments pieced together over Zoom calls and Discord, including “1015”, a hyperpop-influenced single about the 2008 recession, “running”, a rock anthem which was commissioned as a prospect for the third Bill and Ted movie but ultimately rejected, two cover songs which had been voted on by the band’s supporters on Patreon, and several ‘live’ concerts that took place in Minecraft and on Twitch streams. Meanwhile, J had begun making ambitious plans for the band’s follow-up record. Having developed a brief obsession with the works of Carl Jung, J wanted to explore what Jung calls the shadow, the hidden side of the self which holds one’s anxieties, repressed desires, and traumas which Jung believed must be welcomed into the conscious mind in order for a person to truly become the most complete version of themself. J was also meticulously studying the structure and composition of much of their favorite experimental music, writing essays and drawing diagrams in their journal, nestled inbetween vivid descriptions of their dreams and nightmares. These writings, combined with demos the band had passed back and forth over Discord, would become the seed for the second album, “plastic death”.
In late 2021, all four members of glass beach as well as J’s partner Daxe (the band’s primary visual artist who had painted most of their album and single art) moved into a house together. Now able to have in person band practices with less covid risk, they began working on their new material in earnest, with a new level of dexterity on their instruments from constant solo practice in isolation. Songs would be jammed out, recorded, tweaked, re-recorded, digitally chopped up and resequenced, all in service of finding a sound more abstract and emotionally resonant than anything they had done before. The band opted not to rent studio time as they felt it important to take their time to figure everything out without the pressure of paying for every hour, and so all of the recording took place in their practice space and house, and was engineered by Layne and J. By the end of 2022, the record had been trimmed down to 13 songs (of the nearly 20 ideas they had been working on) and fully recorded. Layne and J, with input from the rest of the band, mixed the album over the course of the next couple months, and then Will Yip, who had been connected with the band via Run For Cover, mastered the album. In the summer of 2023, with the album fully complete, the band relocated to the Seattle area. On the drive up, J listened to the album multiple times and, always a perfectionist, was dissatisfied with how it sounded, prompting an emergency remix of nearly all the songs. With its drastic dynamic changes and often very dense instrumentation the record had proven very difficult to mix, but by the end of the remix and remaster process the band was satisfied.
The public would first catch wind of the new album in October 2023, when the band began posting cryptic videos on their social media which linked to a bizarre labrynth of hyperlinks on the glass beach website. Fans who went deep down the rabbit hole discovered a hotline which gave out the album name, release date, and tracklist, as well as numerous hidden videos featuring clips of various songs from the new album. Eventually two of the album’s songs, “rare animal” and “the CIA” would be found in full on the website under layers of obfuscation. This ARG (Alternate Reality Game), created by J, was built to set the tone of this new era of glass beach, an intricate, surreal world. the CIA and rare animal were released soon after, the former featuring a music video directed by William and the latter with a lyric video animated by J. “plastic death” will release January 19th, 2024.

the first glass beach album
classic j dies and goes to hell part 1
how could i ever sleep at night?
my conscience left me petrified
staring at the ceiling wide awake
reliving all my worst mistakes
til i finally got a decent job
and i got a place i'll never own
we'll knock some holes into the walls
to make it feel more like a home
how could i ever sleep at night?
when you left you left me paralyzed
tryna keep my head above the waves
holding out for brighter better days
and you boys just lift me up to let me down
every single time you come around
i'm making friends who don't know who i am
tryna turn the hurt into a brand
how could i ever sleep at night?
i'm blue dreaming about the better times
anything to bring me close to you
anything to take me back to
friday nights
foggy streets and christmas lights
wake me up on saturday
grab my hand and float away
into the abyss again
and i will always be your friend
so grab my hand
take my hand i can't do this alone.

here it is again, a heart of excitement
in the form of a girl who hates her life
as she sits alone on the floor of her bedroom
waiting for answers, wasting time
here it is again, the son of a soldier,
remington shotgun, rolled up sleeves
to keep satan out of the walls of the suburbs
his last bastion of modernity
but satan waits upstairs, watching over his daughter
she writes emo songs, she's so depressed
her lyrics are naive but she still sings her heart out
the only way she knows how to confess
and as she gets up to shut the bedroom door behind her
he stands right beside her, she's trying to get her head on straight
with box dye hair to match her black thigh highs
and scratched nail polish, she performs feminity
she laughs so hard i watch her lose her balance, fall over backwards
to the arms of mephistopheles
but she'll never leave her bedroom in this bedroom community
you'll never be ok, k, if you don't come to your senses
with you everythings the end of the world
melancholia can spread like a virus
I'm sure you got it from that stupid girl
you'll never be ok, if you don't come to your senses
but I feel so defenseless, so alone
i thought he was right when he said that he loved me
he's still thinking of me from up there
and as they stop to look at her they won't look further,
like it's not a murder, it's an inevitable tragedy
the bloody hands of all the heartless fuckers
who emotionally fucked her to monetize her suffering
flipping through a spiral notebook for some
sad hopeless words to turn into a liturgy
so she'll never leave her bedroom in this bedroom community

"ughh i'm so miserable!!!"
blocks of empty storefronts renting to nobody,
dead cacti hang limply in old valley apartment hallways
i'm always making a list of all the people i'd help
if i wasn't helpless myself
standing motionless in doorways and parking lots
pigeons coo on the balconies
dilapidated couches, mattresses
i'd care about the future again if i knew i could last long enough.

i could see a neon glow
from the woods behind the backyard
thrusters made the whole house shake
louder than a thunderstorm
we don't need to sleep it's the weekend,
i wanna stay up late and chase all the skylights
we watched as the starships fell
brighter than a trillion sun rays
they pierced on through the atmosphere
shining burning sattelites
we need to get off of this planet
before the sky falls down and the earth goes up in flames
you reach to grab my hand and hold me close
while we float away from everything we loved
when the bombs fall, take me with you.
i'll keep breathing.
you look so cool in the starlight.
you look so cool.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII love the way you make me feel
when i'm staring at my screen
at four AM,
trying not to fall asleep
and you hit me up just to see if i'm ok.
i loved it way too god damn much
when you told me you don't mind
when i keep you up
sending mamegoma lines
you know it's shit like that that makes me wanna be alive
i wanna say i think it's ok if we just don't both feel the same way
but i feel like we're more than just friends
cause it took six sad months to realize
i didn't miss the cold weather i just missed you and
i didn't miss the sweater weather i just missed you.
YOUUUUUUUU, youuuuuu
YOUUUUUUUU, youuuuuu
YOUUUUUUUU, youuuuuu
YOUUUUUUUU, youuuuuu
i used to think I'd get by fine
tryna hide what's on my mind
friendships felt feigned and
strangers' shapes seemed so unkind
i was alone in crowds but not alone in sentiment
i've been so isolated by
the time i trade to stay alive
brought up with the choice
of success or suicide
so i'll call in sick again just to spend the day with you
wanna say i think it's so gay that we really both feel the same way
that I feel, like we're more than just friends
it took too long to realize
i didn't miss the cold weather i just missed you
i didn't miss the sweater weather i just missed you.
i didn't miss orange county, i just missed you
i didn't miss 69 tarocco, i just missed you
i didn't miss culver city, i just missed you
or getting drunk outside the Smell NO i just missed you
cuz i don't need the cold weather like i need you
and i don't need the sweater weather i just neeeeeeed you.

anybody's time
and all the things they've told you

they said your friends will hurt you
and you're friends don't really care
you told me you're their daughter
and they treat you this way just to keep you safe.
so please listen clearly, i love you dearly
it hurts to see you so torn apart like this
another sleepless night
to laugh about the times we tried to die
with heavy eyes
i'll stay awake with you
and we'll keep us alive
til the morning comes
in here
you'll be ok
and when your heart breaks
i'll be beside you
so please
stay here with me
breathe in like waves

IIIIIIIII stopped taking calls for the first time then I cut off my phone line
and took the highway one for nowhere south
when Yuki said i should just call up family
and tell them how i felt
no one who loves you should make you feel so unsafe
noooo no one who loves you should make you feel alone
in here
you'll be ok
and when your heart breaks
i'll be beside you
so please
stay here with me
breathe in like waves
on a glass beach
blood in your veins,
the blood on your hands
so stop it, you're fucking hurting her
can we forget about the places that we should be?
we don't have to go home today.
i'll sleep on a million couches,
if we have to, to keep us both safe.
until we can take back
the years they've stolen from us
we'll always live like we're
hopeless kids.
but when
we're with all our friends
can we just pretend
that no one can hurt us?
cause hey,
i love you, ok?
it's so hard to say
that i fucking need you too
tonight
when they close their eyes
look up to the sky
and climb up the moonlight
it's ours
the moon and the stars
they'll forget who we were
and we'll be together again.

one day we'll meet up on the moon and then we'll be ok

"we're still here, can you hear me?"

the ghost rots away
in the embrace
of its own gaze
in automatic cycles and habits
paper the mirrors, closed eyes see clearer
die cut my shadow into the drywall
ego at half mast, gas masks and hazmats
chemical war
children were singing
animals bleating
markets and town square
in dissonant fanfare
laughs at the gallows
a truce in the trenches
guards at the fences
saying “all that you’re seeking won’t be found here”
goodbye, mayfly.
fly from still water
how long i have loved you
how long have i loved you?

warm blood to fill you

all that you asked for
from family nexus to family nexus
vox populi, vox dei

violence will free you

walking in your wake, circling the refrain

your disembodied voice still blaring from a tv screen

silver screens for a dream.

sincerity is anodyne.
the desert of the real was overcast by its map.
“i know it’s not gonna last.”
i want to be your tv girl
plastic-wrapped on bladderwrack.
to find a stable plot
across the rotting corpse of god
ghosts of the past, living just to react.
“i know it’s not gonna last.”
little foal in the grass,
in your youth, in a fugue,

your moonlight will wane and wax.

hold me underwater.
in your sweet embrace
wear me out.
terror at your heels,
whatever makes you feel good.
burning through each hour,
to wait it out.
i couldn’t even hear you on the phone.
we’ve been caught up in a one note monotone.
i’ve been living with my head down, comatose.
your memory walks as a roving ghost.
and when i tried to reach her on the phone,
we got lost in the three note area code.
she was soaked into the carpet and her clothes,
monument to the fear that has taken host.
i couldn’t even hear you.
i couldn’t even hear you.
i couldn’t even hear you.
turn to the left.
turn to the right.
turn to the left.
gold rush
bleeding hole where the coal was.
a raging bull where your soul was.
i love you better when you’re kept in check.
plastic death, plastic death
suck the marrow til there’s nothing left, nothing left
send every message as an SOS, SOS
i love you better when you’re kept in check.
there’s no mystique.
even in death just a cheap pastische.
we’re belly-laughing in the nosebleeds.
plastic death, plastic death
suck the marrow til there’s nothing left, nothing left
send every message as an SOS, SOS
i love you better when you’re plasticine, in stark submission,
trepannation bloodflow.
dawn will glean clouds of bone
let your hatred take control.
in sacred sleep, you will seize
daylight unbound by flesh.
in this light, this gorgeous lie
weathered white, in tempestuous tides
bleeding out in advertising red
couldn’t wait, couldn’t handle all the love to pass through you.
rows of evergreen stand by silent water
all is full of love, all is beautiful.
all the burned meat, all the blood in the trees
i am burning with the blood in the trees
and i know it’s not easy to see
it’s not easy to me
it’s not easy to me
it’s not easy to me
all the burned meat, all the blood in the trees
she’s a lost fawn in a frozen creek
licking numb limbs, mending blistered knees
in a little white pill you refuse to eat.
all the burned meat, all the blood in the trees
i am burning with the blood in the trees
and i know it’s not easy to see
it’s not easy to me
it’s not easy to me
it’s not easy to me
family nexus swallowed all exits,
your house is a double bind
in hallways so hard to find,
your love is a double bind.
family nexus swallowed all exits,
your house is a double bind
in hallways so hard to find,
your love is a double bind.
family nexus swallowed all exits,
your house is a double bind
in hallways so hard to find,
your love is a double bind.
cause i want to hurt you so so bad
when you lay there on the floor i will laugh.
quilted sheets,
let me be as clay
in your coarse fingertips.
your plastic silhouette, i will lay.
i am a human body.
do you know?
do you remember?
i am burning with the blood in the trees
and i know it’s not easy to see
it’s not easy to me
it’s not easy to me
it’s not easy to me
all the burned meat, all the blood in the trees
she’s a lost fawn in a frozen creek
licking numb limbs, mending blistered knees
in a little white pill you refuse to eat.
all the burned meat, all the blood in the trees
i am burning with the blood in the trees
and i know it’s not easy to see
it’s not easy to me
it’s not easy to me
it’s not easy to me
