Cut Glass Kings - From A Distant Place (2025)

As Cut Glass Kings unveils their sophomore album, From A Distant Place, the Birmingham duo takes us inside their creative process with a track-by-track guide. Known for their fuzzy, psych-infused sound, Greg McMurray and Paul Cross embrace their love for analog recording—a passion sparked by an old tape machine they stumbled upon in a deserted car park.

Drawing inspiration from Eels, John Grant, and Ty Segall, as well as longtime collaborators The Coral, the band delivers 11 tracks showcasing their artistic evolution and deep-rooted musical chemistry. Mixed by James Skelly and Chris Taylor at Liverpool’s Kempston Street Studios, From A Distant Place arrives via Run On Records, offering a raw yet refined take on their signature style.
