Constantly evolving, Glass Candy have travelled from bare bones stripped down disco rock to equal parts digital and analogue, to synthesizer/drum machine with a side of bass and live drums, to Italo Disco. Born in Portland in the late 90’s, the current line up is Ida No on vocals and Johnny Jewel on synths, guitar, and production. They rose to prominence through hugely successful releases on Italians Do It Better, the label started between Johnny Jewel and Mike Simonetti.
