From the archive: Glass Beams live on KEXP

Glass Beams

Australian trio Glass Beams recorded a full KEXP session on 20 August 2025, published on the station's YouTube channel. The set blends psychedelic rock with Indian classical instrumentation — sitar, tabla and droning tanpura textures — creating a hypnotic, raga-inflected take on modern psych. Guitarist Rajan Silva, bassist Jayden Chappell and drummer Mano Ranganathan weave motorik grooves, fuzz-drenched riffs and improvisational passages that recall both Krautrock repetition and the meditative drift of Alice Coltrane. The session captures the band's distinctive hybrid sound at its most spacious and transportive. This is an archival selection for the Videos section, not a new release.
