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.

Make Believe
Gliss Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We live in a world
A world of make believe
You talk to the girls
They're making you happy

We're lost in a world
Just to set you free
I'm losing the girl

Making your hearts bleed
Hearts bleed...

We are living in a world of love
We are living in a world of lies

Of love and lies
We live in a world

Overall Meaning

of make believe, where we find ourselves being led by the whimsical notions of our fantasies, instead of the cold, hard reality of life. The lyrics of Gliss's "Make Believe" convey this sense of lost innocence and vulnerability that comes with putting all your faith in a dream world that only exists in our minds. As the singer talks to the girls who make him happy, we sense a longing for a connection that might never truly exist in the physical realm. And as the world around us crumbles, we seek refuge in a bubble of make-believe that shields and protects us from the harshness and brutality of life.

The chorus of the song starkly contrasts the dream world we live in with the biting reality we seek to escape. While we might live in a world of love and lies, the reality is that these two forces are inextricably interconnected, and we cannot exist in one without experiencing the other. Nevertheless, the song ends on a somewhat hopeful note, with the singer seeking to find meaning in a world that might not always be what it appears.

Overall, the lyrics to "Make Believe" capture the fragile, delicate nature of the human psyche, and how we seek to protect ourselves from the chaos and darkness of the world around us by retreating into a world of fantasy and imagination.
