Glassio presents: Atlantic City

The track is a fresh take on Bruce Springsteen's "Atlantic City," transforming the classic into a hypnotic, electronic-chill anthem that is perfect for the dancefloor. 

He confides, "This is my melancholy-disco take on Bruce Springsteen’s acoustically-produced track ‘Atlantic City,’ a song about desperation, and one last chance. I feel like many of us are feeling this way with the world at large. I wanted to realize this song with the modern day in mind.”

The remake features candy-coated synthesizers, lush, groovy instrumentation paired with warm vocals. The mix of organic instrumentation and digital textures adds depth and richness, making the song feel like an immersive listening experience.

As one of New York’s most vital indie exports now based in London, Glassio is gearing up to open for Nada Surf this November, ahead of his highly anticipated third album, dropping in 2025. The creator has over 13 million streams and has been praised by the likes of FADER, NYLON, FLOOD, Wonderland and Consequence among others.

Listen Atlantic City in YouTube:

Built around the melodic and lyrically oblique songwriting of Irish-Persian musician Sam R., Glassio has become one of New York City’s staple Indie-Electronic outfits over the past 7 years, garnering millions of streams online and amassing a loyal fanbase around the world. Born out of a love for applying a melodic sweetness to brooding dance beats, the indie-pop outfit has carved out a unique sound that often bridges influences from Big Beat to Chamber Pop to New Wave. 

Born and raised in both Sharjah in the Middle East and Monterey in California, Sam R. fell in love with music listening to Pet Sounds and Graceland on his way to school in the mornings. “It was that juxtaposition of hearing Brian Wilson’s harmonies in a very barren, desert/Arabian landscape that I think planted the seeds for my love for making music that mixes different influences and challenges associations you might have with certain instruments,” Sam explains.

A Debut EP Poptimism was released in 2016 to critical acclaim and viral success with lead single “Try Much Harder” peaking at No. 9 on the Global Viral Charts on Spotify. A series of singles and the Age of Experience EP followed in 2018, further cementing Glassio as an act that “proves that electronic music and great storytelling are a perfect match.” 

A full length album, For The Very Last Time, was released via Downtown Music in 2020, garnering over 7 million streams online, and recognition from Bandcamp as one of the best electronic albums of the year. The record featured guest vocals from Brooklyn-based songwriter Daneshevskaya. Follow up album, See You Shine, made waves in Europe, charting at No. 1 on multiple iTunes Charts around the world. Lead single “Breakaway” was featured in Amazon Studios’ feature film Don’t Make Me Go and Netflix’s Locke and Key. 

His upcoming remake of Bruce Springsteen's "Atlantic City," transforms the classic into a hypnotic, electronic-chill anthem perfect for the dancefloor. He shares, "This is my melancholy-disco take on Bruce Springsteen’s acoustically-produced track ‘Atlantic City,’ a song about desperation, and one last chance. I feel like many of us are feeling this way with the world at large. I wanted to realize this song with the modern day in mind.”

French Horn Rebellion & Glassio - Love Me Back

The first collaboration between Brooklyn-based indie-pop/dance forces Glassio and French Horn Rebellion.

Glassio's Sam Rad shared in a piece with The Wild Honey Pie, "I reached out to Robert on Instagram DMs I think around 2 years ago about doing a show together. One thing led to another and eventually myself, my partner at the time Charles and Robert set up a writing session at the You Too Can Woo studios in Williamsburg. We all started laying down some ideas. I began gibberish-singing some vocal lines and Robert pointed out that it sounded like I was singing something in Spanish. He then called up his Spanish speaking girlfriend during the session and started playing back my isolated vocal track over the speaker phone to decipher what exactly it was I was unconsciously saying. We ended up working out a translation and kept it in there and it became a part of the song." (press release)
