Plastic Death is the upcoming second studio album by Los Angeles indie rock band Glass Beach. It is set for release on January 19, 2024, by Run for Cover Records. The album was produced by Will Yip.[1]

Release

After a series of teasers from the band and their label, Glass Beach released the album's lead single, "The CIA", on October 11, 2023.[2] The song came with a music video directed by the band's drummer William White.[2] The song was described as "almost alt-rock-radio-ready" but without "compromising their proggy, exploratory tendencies",[2] "zany, shapeshifting art pop",[3] and as existing "in a strange space, someplace where prog, post-punk, and jazz coalesce".[4]

The album was announced on November 6, 2023, set for release on January 19, 2024, by Run for Cover Records.[1] The announcement came with the second single, "Rare Animal".[1] The song includes gang vocals from the full band and their "secret fifth member Daxe", which vocalist J McClendon likened to a Greek chorus.[5]
