Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Glass Swords' is a maximalist, neon-soaked explosion of video game synths and trap beats. Rustie's debut defined the 'wonky' and 'purple sound' aesthetics, influencing a generation of EDM and hyperpop producers. It is an unashamedly fun, high-gloss rollercoaster ride.
