Glenn-Copeland, Beverly: The Ones Ahead (Coloured Vinyl LP)

Glenn-Copeland recorded The Ones Ahead in collaboration with producer John Herbermann and Indigo Rising, the band who accompanied him on his inaugural European tour, whose playing lends a cinematic richness to these intricately textured electroacoustic arrangements. After watching a live performance from Glenn-Copeland and Indigo Rising, Herbermann chose to record the album live from the floor, capturing the dynamic interplay among the group. The bond the musicians share and their deep trust in one another shine through these songs. Kurt Inder's elegiac slide guitar glows against Nick Dourado's delicate piano on "Love Takes All", while on "Harbour (Song for Elizabeth)", Glenn-Copeland trades verses with singer Jeremy Costello, who echoes the love ballad's lyrics with warm affection over drummer Bianca Palmer's softly brushed cymbals.

The Ones Ahead weaves together poignant themes: the need for love and mutual care in the face of destruction and uncertainty, the power people have when they reach out for each other, the ways that the wisdom of past generations can guide us along the path forward.

From the stirring, rapturous "People of the Loon" to the gorgeously flowing "Prince Caspian's Dream", The Ones Ahead cultivates a vibrant hope for this world and what it must become to survive. A new chapter in an expansive and unique body of work, Glenn-Copeland's latest album offers flowering wisdom for the world to come, needed now more urgently than ever.
