Alternative Pop from Glass Mansions

Based in Austin, Texas, Glass Mansions is an alternative pop duo formed by vocalist Jayna Doyle and multi-instrumentalist Blake Arambula. Together the pair combine to deliver a cutting edge and powerful electronic sound that takes influence from pop music from both the 90s and the current day.

Blending driving synth tones and electronic textures to make deep and energising soundscapes propelled by punching rhythms and soaring vocal leads with reflective lyricism, Glass Mansions offer a compelling sound that’s resonated with fans around the world.

Bringing their music alive on stage, their performances invoke all the electrifying traits of rock n’ roll which has seen them astonish crowds all over the USA, playing festivals including SXSW, Warped Tour, Canadian Music Week, Illfest, Indie Week Canada and Florida Music Festival while opening for artists such as Phantogram, Robert Delong and Young The Giant among many others.

Ever since dropping their debut single “Matches” in 2016, they’ve been going from strength-to-strength with each move on a thrilling sonic ride that’s involved their music being featured on MTV, Netflix and Bravo. Now, following their last single from 2020, a cover of Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” which was recorded inside a Tesla, they bring us their latest release with their new single titled “STANDING O”.

Spinning a forceful tapestry of crunching guitars, pounding percussion and Jayna Doyle’s commanding vocal work weaving enthralling melodies, with “STANDING O” Glass Mansions deliver a truly captivating anthem of modern alternative pop music. Instantly memorable and completely infectious, the duo’s latest single sees them drop another hit as they continue to operate at the very top of their game.

Commenting on the new single, Jayna offers, “‘Standing O’ is our modern times continuation of Leslie Gore’s ‘You Don’t Own Me.’ Having both experienced and witnessed the abuse of power by men in notable positions, both in and out of the music industry, I wrote this song at a time when I felt peak exhaustion and frustration as someone that identifies as female. Repeatedly encountering being gaslit, my worth dismissed, groomed, talked down to publicly all while watching this new rise of oppression in our country being force-fed to us by the media by these performative men in power — our voice is the most powerful thing we have in fighting back.”

Adding, “Speaking up for ourselves, speaking up for others, voting, marching, protesting, pushing back against the patriarchy is how we reclaim our power. This song is a call for a sarcastic standing ovation to applaud oppressors for thinking they have more power at the end of the day than they actually do. We still have our voice.”
