Though Dublin-raised live electronic duo The Glass has been around for six years, it’s just now that their first album, “At Swim Two Birds”, has come to life. Looking at their history, dotted with singles, and a near album – the seven-track EP “Couples Therapy” – it begs the question, after already releasing a wealth of material…why an album? Why now?

Christopher Rau's journey began as a Hamburg based house dj and producer who created waves with the 2009 release of acclaimed dance-floor single off Derive Records "Ne Travalleiz Jamais". Back one year later with his highly anticipated debut 'Asper Clouds', Rau's nine track treatise contains all the makings of an instant classic.
