‘Stranded Assets’, the latest release from British duo My Glass World, is a carefully crafted album that blends rock, pop, jazz, and classical influences into a rich, atmospheric experience. Jamie Telford’s thoughtful songwriting paired with Sean Read’s masterful saxophone and production work creates a record that feels both personal and timely. The album reflects on the complexities of modern life—politics, economic struggles, and the search for meaning—with a sound that moves effortlessly between bold energy and quieter introspection.
The opening track, “Words”, sets the tone with its sharp lyrics and melodic tension, inviting listeners to pay attention to the stories behind the music. “You Can Feel It Coming” follows with a sense of urgency, driven by a catchy rhythm and layered instrumentation. “Show Up” feels more grounded, its steady beat supporting Telford’s clear vocal delivery. “Always Another Train” introduces a hint of melancholy, reflecting on missed chances and the passage of time. “You Can GetThere” offers a glimmer of hope, balancing the album’s darker moments with its uplifting melody. “What Are We Left With” asks important questions in a haunting way, while “Where Are You” slows things down, becoming one of the album’s most intimate moments.
As the album progresses, “It’s Time” pushes forward with confident energy, paired with Sean Read’s rich saxophone lines. “Faster” injects a sense of urgency and movement, contrasting with the more reflective “Take Me Up”, which feels like a gentle invitation to rise above challenges. “A Pale Horse” carries a somber tone, touching on heavier themes with its dramatic arrangement. Finally, “Compassion For Animals” closes the album with warmth and empathy, reminding us of kindness amid uncertainty. Throughout ‘Stranded Assets’, My Glass World balances mood and message, making this album a thoughtful listen from start to finish.
