Artists: THE GLASS HOURS
Who: American songwriters Brad Armstrong and Megan Barbera.
Their music blurs between Sunday afternoon country-folk
and the golden age of the 1970s.

New single: SCARLET TONGUES
Piece from the duo’s self-titled nine-song debut album,
out on 3 Jan 2024 through Cornelius Chapel Records.

Brad Armstrong told Americana UK that “‘Scarlet Tongues’ started as a kind
of call-and-response folk song, then the idea of how that repeated line could mean
different things evolved. It’s a song about chasing something, but always coming
home, or wanting to, anyway. It’s kind of an apology, I guess.“

TUTV: I’m a sucker for melancholic and bittersweet lullabies. And this is one.
A romantic reverie that touches heart and soul with its riveting melody, sparkling acoustic/electric guitar play, lazy drum beats, and warm duet vocals. It has
a Christmassy feel. It’s a sepia-coloured delight. Emotive country at its finest.

Tune in.
