There’s something magnetic about what Beast Beast achieved with “Glue & Glitter“—a track that whispers, sways, and still hits right where it should.
“Glue & Glitter” is all about that delicate push and pull between envy, longing, and self-reflection. Where many bands might lean into drama, Beast Beast keep things smooth and unhurried, letting a steady beat do most of the talking. The opening guitar lick feels almost borrowed from a dream—soft, inviting, and reminiscent of Connan Mockasin’s off-kilter warmth. It sets the stage for a voice that doesn’t shout its sorrows, but rather folds them into something intimate and strangely comforting.
As the song builds, it doesn’t explode—it deepens. That hypnotic beat becomes the glue holding the piece together, while the gentle layers of sound add the glitter, shining in subtle but undeniable ways. It’s the kind of track that feels both lived-in and fresh, one you’ll want to sit with more than once, just to notice how it quietly shifts under the skin.
I love how grounded Beast Beast‘s sound is here. They resist overcomplication, choosing instead to let restraint carry the weight. This makes the emotional honesty of the lyrics even more striking. The crossroads of jealousy and envy could easily lean into bitterness, but instead, the band wraps it in a sonic tenderness that makes the subject feel relatable and strangely uplifting.
About Beast Beast:
Formed in 2020 by Gustav Cederberg and Mikael Landén, Beast Beast have carved out a space where 70s rock swagger collides with jazz, soul, and pure energy. Their debut EP “Just for a second” already showed their knack for infectious grooves, but their upcoming album “B&B” promises even more: a tribute to the sounds that shaped them, recorded the old-fashioned way—sweaty studios, big amps, and plenty of heart. If “Glue & Glitter” is a taste of what’s coming, September 18 can’t come soon enough.
