Glass Shadows is the eighth studio album by the band Mostly Autumn.[1] The writing of the album saw band members Heather and Bryan retreating to the Lake District, apparently inspiring a more organic sound for the new songs, harking back to the band's earlier material. Although the majority of material has been written by Bryan and Heather, Liam Davison has also co-writen the track 'Until the Story Ends'.
The album was recorded at Fairview Studios, where the band worked with old friend John Spence, engineer of many early Mostly Autumn records. Iona's Troy Donockley will be guesting on the album. [2]. The album's artwork was designed by Richard Nagy, who created the artwork for Odin Dragonfly's Offerings. (2007)[3].
Glass Shadows came out in April 2008, when a special fan edition was released. This version features expanded artwork and a DVD documenting the recording process, as well as bonus tracks not available on the mainstream version of the album. The record will then see retail release in shortly afterwards.
This is the first Mostly Autumn album to feature Anne-Marie Helder on flutes and Henry Bourne on drums.
