New York's Glassio releases a timely, end-of-year-inspired single to reflect on what we have lost and what we still have – featuring vocal harmonies from Brooklyn based singer Rodes Rollins and Bristol alt bedroom pop duo Mumble Tide. Weaving together influences from Brit-Pop to Brian Wilson to The Flaming Lips, “Will You Still Come Back Tomorrow?” is an episodic, 4-track single meant to be listened to from start to finish, outlining the 4-stages of a long goodbye.
Track 1: The boisterous, beckoning and anthemic promise to change
Track 2: The lonely, Tuesday night journal entry wishing things hadn’t fallen apart
Track 3: The realization of how small your problems are in the world, and how fleeting life is.
Track 4: The last breath of missing someone before finally moving on.
Glassio has over 13 million streams and has been praised by the likes of FADER, NYLON and Consequence among others. Rodes Rollins has received acclaim from Billboard, Rolling Stone and more. Mumble Tide has received airplay on BBC. Thanks for your consideration,

GLASSIO BIO
Built around the melodic and lyrically oblique songwriting of Irish-Persian musician Sam R., Glassio has become one of New York City’s staple Indie-Electronic outfits over the past 7 years, garnering millions of streams online and amassing a loyal fanbase around the world. Born out of a love for applying a melodic sweetness to brooding dance beats, the indie-pop outfit has carved out a unique sound that often bridges influences from Big Beat to Chamber Pop to New Wave.
Born and raised in both Sharjah in the Middle East and Monterey in California, Sam R. fell in love with music listening to Pet Sounds and Graceland on his way to school in the mornings. “It was that juxtaposition of hearing Brian Wilson’s harmonies in a very barren, desert/Arabian landscape that I think planted the seeds for my love for making music that mixes different influences and challenges associations you might have with certain instruments,” Sam explains.
A Debut EP Poptimism was released in 2016 to critical acclaim and viral success with lead single “Try Much Harder” peaking at No. 9 on the Global Viral Charts on Spotify. A series of singles and the Age of Experience EP followed in 2018, further cementing Glassio as an act that “proves that electronic music and great storytelling are a perfect match.”
A full length album, For The Very Last Time, was released via Downtown Music in 2020, garnering over 7 million streams online, and recognition from Bandcamp as one of the best electronic albums of the year. The record featured guest vocals from Brooklyn-based songwriter Daneshevskaya. Follow up album, See You Shine, made waves in Europe, charting at No. 1 on multiple iTunes Charts around the world. Lead single “Breakaway” was featured in Amazon Studios’ feature film Don’t Make Me Go and Netflix’s Locke and Key.
2023 and 2024 will see the release of a string of collaborative singles, starting with “A Friend Like You” featuring LA-based Indie-Dream-Pop artist Beauty Queen, and follow up single “Will You Still Come Back Tomorrow?” featuring Rodes Rollins and Mumble Tide.

RODES ROLLINS BIO
Brooklyn-based singer Rodes Rollins writes Americana pop songs that take dusty, psychedelic turns. Her approach to rock n’ roll is transcendent and nostalgic, calling on old Western elements and vintage riffs. Like some of her kindred indie rock and folk contemporaries Weyes Blood and Meg Remy of U.S. Girls, Rodes Rollins writes songs that evade time and that are not traceable to any one era in music. - VICE
