Glass Modern

Glass Modern is a London independent record label that has been making waves in the music industry since its inception in 1981. Originally known as Glass Records (2), the label played a pivotal role during the vibrant 1980s music scene and continued to operate until 1990.
After a brief hiatus, Glass Records made a triumphant return in 2015 under the name Glass Redux. This resurrection brought new life to the label, allowing it to once again showcase its passion for groundbreaking music.
In 2018, Glass Modern was launched as an imprint of Glass Redux. With this exciting development, the label expanded its roster and continued to push boundaries within the industry. Known for their commitment to artistic integrity and innovation, *Glass Modern* has become synonymous with quality music that challenges conventions.

Jowe Head is a British bass guitarist, singer, and visual artist. With a career spanning several decades, he has made significant contributions to the music industry as both a musician and an artist.

Known for his unique style and experimental approach, Jowe Head has carved out a niche for himself in the music world. His sound can be described as eclectic, drawing inspiration from various genres such as punk, post-punk, and art rock.

In addition to his musical talents, Jowe Head is also an accomplished visual artist. His artwork often reflects his creative vision and complements his musical compositions. This multidisciplinary approach sets him apart from other artists in the industry.

Jowe Head's first post-Swell Maps recordings from 1980 and a further session from 1982 after his first LP 'incer Movement was released in 1981. 6 tracks from these recordings were released on Constrictor in Germany in 1986 alongside tracks from Pincer Movement as Strawberry Deutschmark but the other 13 here are previously unreleased.

Completely remixed by Jowe Head in 2020 for Glass Modern. "I recorded these tracks in my home at Londesborough Road, Stoke Newington, between 1980-1982, using a TEAC 4-track reel-to-reel tape recorder. All instruments played by me: electric guitar, fretless bass, electric fire, typewriter, sticks, a battered trumpet and an old harmonium. Overdubs recorded at GWBB in 1983. Remixed at Perch Street in 2020. Words and music composed by me." (Jowe Head, November 2020)
