Concord Music Publishing ANZ sign global publishing deal with Glass Beams

06 March 2025 - Press release

 

Concord Music Publishing ANZ have announced a worldwide publishing deal with enigmatic Melbourne artist Glass Beams.

Led by founder Rajan Silva, the mysterious masked live act draws inspiration from their Indian and South Asian heritage, blending hypnotic, cyclical melodies with psychedelic soundscapes. Their music—rooted in a fusion of live instrumentation and DIY electronica—creates a captivating and magical visual world, which has captivated audiences across the globe.

On the deal, Jaime Gough, Managing Director Concord ANZ comments, “It truly is a privilege to welcome Rajan to the family. Rajan is a supremely gifted artist and songwriter, who through Glass Beams has created a unique brand of serpentine, psychedelic-tinged music, capturing a spirit that drifts between worlds; mystical, elusive, and endlessly mesmerizing. We are excited for the journey ahead”

Since the release of their 2021 debut EP Mirage and their breakout 2024 EP Mahal, Glass Beams has surged into the collective consciousness of millions. Their unique sonic and visual identity has propelled them to remarkable international success, selling out every show on their debut European and North American tours. They are set to perform at Coachella Music & Arts Festival and Barcelona’s Primavera Sound this year.

Glass Beams was initially conceived through Rajan’s rekindling of childhood memories, shaped by his father’s experience immigrating to Melbourne from India in the late 1970s. A defining moment in his musical journey was watching Concert for George—the 2002 tribute to George Harrison at London’s Royal Albert Hall, featuring Ravi Shankar, Anoushka Shankar, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney and Jeff Lynne. 

This spirit of cross-pollination between East and West, of old and new, is the foundation for Glass Beams self-produced sound, whose output presents a timeless fusion of cultures and sounds.
