John Glacier
List Pick
October 8, 2026
Closely following the bouncy darkness of 'Bond Girl', John Glacier grapples with external expectations on 'Lights'. With pressure increasing to always be 'on' and in the spotlight, there's a sombre tone to a track that ultimately goes hard. Produced by frequent collaborator Kwes Darko, the instrumentation is edgy and surreal, centring a mosquito-like synth loop as Glacier's signature cool flow recalls recent personal experiences. Short and snappy, 'Lights' mirrors its disorientating subject matter and feels over in the blink of an eye.
