Glass Vaults is a New Zealand indie rock[not verified in body] band formed in Wellington, New Zealand.

History[edit]

Early years[edit]

The band was founded by Richard Larsen, and Rowan Pierce in 2010 after graduating from Toi Whakaari.[2] The band name was inspired by the vaulted ceilings of cathedrals.

Sojourn[edit]

In 2013, the band began work on their first full-length album Sojourn which was released by Flying Out in mid-2015. Sojourn included such singles as "Life is the Show" and "Ancient Gates", which received extensive airplay on alternative radio stations such as 95bFM and Radioactive.

The New Happy[edit]

Their second album The New Happy, was released in mid-2017 in New Zealand.[3]

The band took aural cues from Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and influences from tracks of Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, and Grace Jones with minimal reverb and dry sounding percussion.[4]
