On our Chillout Sessions EP we put all the previous Glassback songs into a more relaxed setting
and collaborated with some great guests. We wanted to try something new besides our normal
rock sound and see if our songs work without so much noise. In the band, some members listen
to the legendary “beats to study to” compilations on YouTube half the day, which certainly
influenced the move in the more relaxed direction. In connection with the EP, we experimented
with electronic drum machines for the first time, which is reflected in other releases.
The writing sessions for the EP took place entirely via Discord, as they happened at the turn of the
year, while public life was heavily shut down. In the process, we found that collaboration can also
very well work digitally, which changed our workflow permanently.
