While the band's early work blended noise rock with electropop, their later work incorporates Italo disco. The band is known for evolving through the years since their original collaboration, and experimenting with various musical genres.
They have released a number of albums since the early 2000s, their most recent being 2008's Deep Gems.
Glass Candy was formed by Ida No, from Vancouver, Washington and Johnny Jewel, from Austin, Texas, in 1996. The two began working together in Portland, Oregon, just across the Columbia River from No's hometown of Vancouver, Washington. No describes their early work as "droney and weird." Their first two singles, which they self-released under the name "Glass Candy & the Shattered Theatre", were "Metal Gods" (2001) and a cover of Josie Cotton's "Johnny Are You Queer" (2002). They toured with The Convocation Of... in 2001, and released a live album that year on Vermin Scum. Their first studio album, Love Love Love, was issued on Troubleman Unlimited in 2003. A second full-length followed on Troubleman the next year. Jewel founded Italians Do It Better with Mike Simonetti as a subsidiary of Troubleman. In 2007 Glass Candy released their third album B/E/A/T/B/O/X on this label to considerable critical praise. In late 2008, a rarities, b-sides and remix album was released under the name Deep Gems. In a review of Deep Gems, Spin Magazine referred to the band as "an eccentric Portland pair" that "spook the dance floor".
Glass Candy songs were used for a Chloe runway show, as well as used by Karl Lagerfeld for the Spring/Summer '08 Chanel Haute Couture fashion show and the Fall/Winter one of '08/'09.
Recently Glass Candy's "Digital Versicolour" was used in the soundtrack to Nicolas Winding Refn's feature length film Bronson.

I stared out stained glass windows
But I didn't see anything
I lived just like a shadow
I didn't feel anything
If there's a god in heaven
Won't you tell him to let me in?
I promise I'll be a good girl
I promise I won't give in
And you tell me baby
I know that life can get so hard
Look out that window
You could be dancing in the yard
And I know it's crazy
But we've got to find a spark
Keep on burning
And we'll be dancing in the dark
I tried to walk a thin line
But it didn't do anything
I tried to shut off my mind
But it didn't do anything
You say that god's in heaven
He wants to let me in
I promise I'll be a good girl
I promise I won't give in
@oldneonstudio
"If it is not love what I feel, I do not know what will be.
Since my eyes see the early lights of a new day, until sunset consumes them, you occupy my thoughts.
Like a beautiful obsession, you have entered me.
I have felt a thousand experiences with the mere fact that you came to my mind.
An emptiness invades me, loneliness divides me.
You, yes you, my real love, my true passion, my endless beauty.
Yours are my fears, my weaknesses, and my secrets.
With a thousand beautiful feelings, your beloved Alejandro".
-Marcelo Alejandro Beutelspacher "A Love Letter".

Megan's vocals will never fail to impress me. There just something so beautifully simplistic about them. 10/10
