Recorded live in April 2025, Vol. 2 – Transmissions West joins Vol. 1 – Transmissions East for a complete record of the two incredible nights spent in Berlin’s Funkhaus.
Don+t Settle is a studio album, yet recorded in front of a live audience. Looking both forward and back, East and West, it’s a retrospective of sorts that showcases some of Glen’s best loved songs and encapsulates the energy Glen is known for as a performer.
“I’ve always been more comfortable on stage than in a studio. I love making records. I love the proces But the song lives before an audience. A song needs witnesses. It’s where I feel like I can really grab hold of it. And know it – the way that it’s meant to be known.

“My Ice Queen” immediately makes its case. A mid-to-low tempo chugging rhythm underpins choppy guitar, a contemplative, distant vocal and a general air of disassociation. Brief sections of the song feature – albeit muted – guitar mangling and feedback. The lyrics tell of a “heartbreak machine, coolest girl you’ve ever seen.” Icy? Absolutely.

There is something subtly captivating about Panacea. It’s an album that’s presence isn’t marked by booming choruses and dramatic highs. Instead, Dutch artist Celine Cairo built its impact through a sense of patience. The more time you spend with it – really listening – the more its subtleties begin to surface.

There’s a bit of Young Marble Giants in there. The Brian Eno of Another Green World, too. The Ghost Box label’s characteristic nebulousness is also apparent.
Everything 
Since their debut album, 2014’s Sun Structures, established them as neo-psychedelic rockers in the first degree, Temples have made a point of never repeating themselves. The albums that followed have taken all sorts of creative left turns, from Volcano‘s synth-heavy modern pop to Hot Motion‘s stripped-down jangle to Exotico‘s stadium indie grandeur. The shift they make on 2026’s Bliss is their most drastic. Influenced by the electronic music and rave culture of the ’90s, the band trade out guitars for synthesizers, pump up the beats, and do their best to add some psychedelic mystery to a very retro dance-rock sound. The album is loaded with slamming beats, huge-sounding synths, jagged sound effects, and dancefloor vibes. Tracks like “Revelation” and…
