We never sleep.


glassGhosts dwell within the mirror of culture. They are the reflection of that which surrounds them whether it is artifice, alienation, pageantry or isolation. They peer at one’s identity through dirty windowpanes to evoke their macabre manifestations. Sifting through postmodern architecture, they recontextualize what they appropriate. Begged, borrowed, and stolen sounds haunt their backdrops. Images of obsession are presented without judgment. Symbols and glyphs are set adrift to develop their own meaning.



"Up from the basement the sound is crawling; tangible, insistent, thirsty. Clawing its way through the floorboards to shake the walls, shatter the mirrors, wake the blind. Exorcised from the attic, the images are dripping; jagged, visceral, lucid. Seeping down the stairs to flood the parlors, stain the walls, shock the deaf. The slicks intermingle, glistening like oil in wine, to saturate the house of industry and eclipse the jaded with a fertile filigree of sensory compulsion."

"Oddly theatrical" (decider.com)

"Live show a frontrunner for Madison's craziest." (Onion v 43 no. 46, Nov. 15-21, 2007)

"Easily worth a half-hour of gawking ... if that sounds backhanded, it's not -- with just enough imagination and perversion, performance-art elements can legitimately beef up a show's sensory impact." (Onion vol. 43 no. 46, Nov. 15-21, 2007)

"Deepened its industrial creepery onstage with the help of gas masks and other morbid visual elements." (Onion vol. 44 no. 16, Apr. 17-23, 2008)

"Gothic electro-disco is at the musical heart of this act, but GlassGhosts also offers a generous dose of post-apocalyptic performance art. If the band members and their gas-masked gimp companions don't frighten you, the experience will at least confuse you. Either way, the beats are for dancing—and few things are more frightening to Midwesterners than getting a little footloose." (L. Haven, AV Club, Oct.23, 2009)



-of 'Nevereverything'-
"Disenchanted gothic electronica from Madison with flowing female vocals and occasional violin passages over a jittering harsh and unforgiving industrial backdrop. Disturbing throbbings in the lower registers propel the angst filled musical forms into a tumultuous fruition." (Max Ink v14 i5 08/09)
