About Glass Mountain Roads
For the follow-up to Central City May Rise Again, The Cape May enlisted acclaimed engineer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Smog, Low, The Pixies), and recorded in Calgary and Chicago over several months. Layered with strings, keys, theremin and accordian, the album breathes with Albini’s trademark earthy approach, from Clinton’s distinctive and sometimes otherworldly voice to the dark, sweeping arrangements. Haunting and surreal, St. John’s lyrics give a cinematic quality to the songs, finding Orwellian landscapes and dream-like scenes delivered with starkness and honesty. Glass Mountain Roads exposes a tiny blossoming hope buried in the cracks of a world on the brink.

Some Response to Glass Mountain Roads
"people who take the time will not be disappointed ... (Glass Mountain Roads) is a band realizing it’s true musical might."
-Sound The Sirens
"the Cape May could be not just Calgary's next big thing, but Canada's as well."
- NOW Magazine
"Filled with haunting arrangements and songs so epic they border on the mythological, Glass Mountain Roads is gorgeous in its stark simplicity."
- Jason Lewis, FFWD
"Glass Mountain Roads demonstrates the skills of a beautifully entangled group of musicians, with thoughtful vocal melodies floating about over carefully constructed polyrhythmic post-rock jams (mix a dash of Bonnie Prince with the moodier side of Pinback and you're kind of in the ballpark)."
- Neil Havert, VIEW Magazine
"Glass Mountain Roads" is the type of album that you just can't seem to take out of your CD player. ... listen to it under headphones from beginning to end you will not be disappointed."
- Paul Borchert, MOTE Magazine
"Channelling angst, sensitivity and artistic acumen into their latest record, Calgary's the Cape May are sure-footed on Glass Mountain Roads."
- Vish Khann, Exclaim!
"an energetic and evocative experience which leaves the listener level to the clouds."
- Marc Boudigno, Chart Magazine
"This band's peculiar, unorthodox progressive pop flows like ocean waves...constantly evolving and reinventing itself in the process."
-Babysue
"Glass Mountain Roads is a dark and ethereal unsettling dream. Too beautiful to be a nightmare, but too sinister to be a 'fantasy.'”
