The Danish/American duo, have been dividing their time between Berlin, Los Angeles, and Copenhagen. Finishing the new recordings in Berlin, Gliss' new music reflects the city's night life and limitless art scene and takes on a darker and edgier sound, while keeping a solid pop structure. This is a band that knows their sound, and having toured with the likes of The Horrors, Raveonettes and Editors, as well as performing for the royal family of Denmark , they clearly have the credentials. While they are principally known for producing and mixing their own music, the multi-instrumentalists Victoria Cecilia and Martin Klingman have also worked with Gareth Jones for mixing, who is known for his collaborations with Nick Cave, Depeche Mode, and These New Puritans.

Langsom Dans -
Danish/American band Gliss makes a huge departure from their old sound on the new record Langsom Dans which is gathering comparisons to Beach House, Crystal Castles and Lower Dens. The LA based duo, consisting of Victoria Cecilia & Martin Klingman, pour their collective musical imaginations into recording timeless art pop with a precise Scandinavian texture that steps away from their previous work. The 12-track LP features heavy synths and electronic beats with Danish expatriate, Victoria Cecilia, stepping into the role as lead singer. The passionate vocal harmonies dictate the recordings with stories of coming out of the darkness into a new life, bringing to mind The XX, Portishead and Depeche Mode.

This is a full-length from a band that knows their sound, and having toured with the likes of The Horrors, Raveonettes and Editors, they clearly have the credentials.

The album is released through Modern Outsider and is already climbing into the Top 5 on the alternative specialty radio charts.

I Want You
Gliss Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Save it all for when you fall down
Well you can't take this cuz your taking that
And you look inside but your looking back
It's so lonely at the bottom of the pool

Stay away hide from me
And you're saying this cuz your sayin’ that
And I'm doing this and your doing that

It's so lonely at the bottom of the pool

And you want me to, just to love you
And you want me to...

Hide hide away from us
Save save the best for last
Cause you're doing this cause your doing that
And your big mistake is you're missing that
It's so lonely at the bottom of the pool

And you want me to, just to love you

And you want me to and you want me to
Just to love you...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gliss's song "I Want You" speak to the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of destructive behavior and loneliness. The opening line, "Save it all for when you fall down," suggests that the singer knows that their current actions are unsustainable and will eventually lead to a fall or collapse. The second line, "Well you can't take this cuz your taking that," speaks to the idea of trade-offs and how focusing on one thing means sacrificing another. This theme of sacrifice and loss is further emphasized in the line, "And you look inside but your looking back," which suggests that the singer is struggling to move forward because they are constantly haunted by the past.

The chorus reinforces the idea of loneliness and isolation with the line, "It's so lonely at the bottom of the pool." The metaphorical image of being at the bottom of a pool suggests a feeling of being suffocated and cut off from the world above. The second verse builds on this theme with lines like "Stay away hide from me" and "It's so lonely at the bottom of the pool." The repetition of these phrases and the use of the word "lonely" throughout the song creates a sense of desperation and hopelessness.

Overall, "I Want You" is a haunting and introspective song that explores the complex emotions of loneliness, loss, and destructive behavior.
