A musical project that started with a suitcase full of songs inspired by a year spent living and travelling in Japan. Glass Ankle’s sound has since become renowned for encompassing soaring melodies, impeccable harmonies, oozing guitar & synth passages, and subtle experimentalism.

Now in their tenth year, the collective has gained an impressive reputation for captivating live performances and recordings which have lead to comparisons with a diverse range of artists, including Yo La Tengo, Beach House, Gomez, Tunng, Belle and Sebastian, and ’13-era’ Blur.

Having so far self-released 2 EPs and 3 singles to date, including the Fragments EP in 2014 which was met with wide critical acclaim, new music is coming in 2020.
