Glass Mansions
Glass Mansions, led by the charismatic, sultry voice of Jayna Doyle, paired with multi-instrumentalist Blake Arambula’s wall of synths/guitar/bass is an alt/pop duo from Austin, TX. Influenced by both modern and 90s pop, heavy synths and tight, dance-friendly rhythms — their music is propulsive and elastic, with bubbly pop-melodies, lush electronic beds of sound and intelligent, intimate lyrics. Live, it’s pure Rock n’ Roll energy – raw, sweaty, passionate and covered in a cloud of fog and confetti. Chances are you’ve probably seen Glass Mansions lately as opening support for Phantogram at ILLFEST or Robert DeLong or at some point or another as they’ve crisscrossed the country, playing places like SXSW, Warped Tour, Canadian Music Week, Indie Week Canada, South Sounds and Florida Music Festival pre-pandemic. In the case that you haven’t seen them yet… you are in for a treat.
Their music has been featured on MTV, Netflix and Bravo and they’ve recently released two new singles, the grunge-tinged “Faith” and a unique cover of Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” recorded live inside a Tesla. The band will be releasing new music in 2022.
