LA-based trio The Glitch Mob are welcoming the new year by celebrating a decade of Drink The Sea (2010), their groundbreaking debut album, released on their imprint Glass Air Records.
To commemorate the anniversary and their accomplishments that succeeded the release, the trio is pleased to formally announce a massive 36-date tour across the US and Canada.
An innovative, sonic masterpiece from beginning to end, Drink The Sea played a monumental role in molding the LA beat scene, as well as the ears of electronic music aficionados across the globe. Emerging out of a budding, sample-heavy musical landscape, Drink The Sea was a breath of fresh air, pushing boundaries with acute analog precision (and zero samples). Between 2010 and 2020, electronic music fans were likely influenced, in one way or another, by the epic, cinematic cocktail that is ‘Fortune Days’ or the dark, pulsating sounds of ‘Animus Vox’. Drink The Sea was much more than just an album to many; the record garnered a cult following, selling over 100,000 copies, and has since cracked 200,000,000 online streams. To commemorate a decade of earth-shattering sound and raw audio manipulation, The Glitch Mob has announced their DRINK THE SEA X tour.
With global performances ranging from niche electronic music festivals, such as Lightning In A Bottle, Shambhala and Electric Forest, to playing at some of the most in-demand festivals in the world, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Reading and Leeds, Ultra Music Festival, and a coveted closing set a Governor’s Ball NYC 2018. Drink The Sea pushed them to the forefront of a rising crop of producers that sought to introduce the world to a fresh, twisted take on IDM. They became ubiquitous.
“This year marks the ten-year anniversary of our first album, Drink The Sea. We have been reflecting on how much the album means to us and to our fans throughout this decade-long journey. We are hitting the road with a reimagined live version of the album and brand-new audio-visual experience.” – The Glitch Mob
