“The first full-length album from this project led by Seattle-based singer, songwriter, and producer Emilia Glaser and now joined by Julian Stefanzick on bass and percussion is an impressive set of sparkling dream-pop and moody shoegaze with an imaginative and slightly operatic touch.”

“glass egg, the dream pop duo of Emilia Glaser and Julian Stefanzick, was responsible for one of my favorite albums of last year — the glacial, moody in case i forget you. visions & ecstasies is almost entirely an upgrade, not only in fidelity (though I do miss some of the lo-fi charm of the debut) but in compositional ambition. Opener “forever,” with its carefully-chosen sonic details that burble under the lead melodies, tells you everything you need to know about what’s new here.”

“I’m really proud of where we’ve been able to take glass egg together and how much the project has grown because of how we’ve adapted the sound, but it has remained true to my solo days at the same time. Julian really helps push me musically, while also respecting my vision, it’s a really beautiful partnership.”

“Save for the rippling, unresolving opening “back to me,” the material glides with the softness of an easy dream. And the textures, unique per track, are universally perfect for it; “vern song” is crystalline, “tightrope” is twilit, and “clearly” does the Good work of reclaiming the ghost from Red House Painters’ “Katy Song.” The song’s drift on long, but the environments are so spacious that the length feels generous, more so than overbearing.”
