With the release of single “III”, Glass Museum ventures into a more dark, rhythmically driven terrain. Marking a new chapter for the duo, the track pulses with raw urban energy.
Built as an endless loop, the track is anchored by an acoustic techno/breakbeat groove, around which a muted, sharp-edged piano and a distorted bass line revolve. Drawing subtle inspiration from Warp Records’ legacy (Aphex Twin, Squarepusher,…), “III” blends raw energy with hypnotic repetition.
The accompanying video, directed by Super Tchip, draws from early surveillance aesthetics, with cathode textures and a slightly dystopian tone. Set at a city crosswalk during the morning rush, the film captures anonymous figures swept along by the mechanical rhythm of urban life. Small surreal glitches disrupt the routine, blurring the line between the ordinary and the uncanny.
At the center of this urban ballet is a lone figure in a reflective jacket — a fictional character moving within the crowd. Part observer, part participant, a symbol of consciousness flickering within the relentless pace of the modern city.
