Alice Glass makes a bold return with her first release of 2025, the visceral new single “CATCH AND RELEASE”—a track that pulses with anxiety, obsession, and cathartic confrontation. Arriving after her 2024 collaborations, including “REMAINS” with CLIP and her cover of The Smashing Pumpkins’ “Drown,” this latest offering signals a new chapter for the genre-bending icon.
Describing the track, Glass shares, “‘CATCH AND RELEASE’ feels like the sharp panic of falling under ice — that trapped, choking anxiety disguised as something nice. The only way out is to move, bounce, dance through it before it seeps in and eats you alive. It’s confrontation disguised as fun — chants that sound like release but are really just reflections of obsession and rot.” The track layers her signature spectral vocals over pounding beats and glitch-infused production, creating a tension between euphoria and dread that feels unmistakably Alice Glass.
A pioneering voice in electronic music, Glass first rose to prominence as the electrifying frontwoman of Crystal Castles in the late 2000s. With her ability to swing from eerie whispers to full-throttle screams, she helped define a genre-defying era that blended punk aggression with electronic chaos—earning acclaim from outlets like Pitchfork, NME (John Peel Award for Innovation), and a devoted global fanbase.
Since leaving the band in 2014 and courageously speaking out about the abuse she endured, Glass has carved out her own path—emerging as a solo artist, DJ, and symbol of artistic and personal resilience. Her 2022 debut album PREY//IV was a stark, cinematic reckoning, showcasing her raw lyricism and avant-pop production style. Now, in 2025, she returns with renewed creative fire and a slate of unexpected collaborations that continue to defy boundaries.
With “CATCH AND RELEASE,” Alice Glass reminds us that the dance floor can be a site of release, reckoning, and rebellion. Stay tuned for more music and announcements from one of underground pop’s most compelling voices.
