Electronic music duo Glass Candy, comprised of vocalist Ida No and multi-instrumentalist Johnny Jewel, emerged in 1996, quickly developing a distinct sound that blended no wave, indie rock, and glam rock elements, often described as ‘droney and weird.’ Operating initially under the moniker Glass Candy and the Shattered Theatre, they released early singles including ‘Brittle Women’ in 1999, ‘Metal Gods’ in 2001, and a notable cover of Josie Cotton’s ‘Johnny Are You Queer’ in 2002. The duo expanded their reach through a 2001 tour with The Convocation Of… and simultaneously released their first live album that year through Vermin Scum. Their critically acclaimed debut studio album, ‘Love Love Love,’ arrived in 2003 via Troubleman Unlimited Records, solidifying their unique artistic vision.
Despite an extended hiatus, Glass Candy digitally surprised fans with the release of two new EPs in 2019: ‘Naked City’ and ‘The Beat’s Alive,’ showcasing their enduring artistic output and continued presence in the electronic music landscape.
