Glass Hammer, the progressive rock vehicle of founder and multi-instrumentalist Steve Babb, recently announced the release of Black Light for November 6th.
Now, Glass Hammer has shared the video for “Lost Horizons,” from its new album Black Light. The video runs from the album’s opening, “I Stared At It Too Long,” straight into the epic-length track, “Lost Horizons.” The video and lyrics bring together characters from several Glass Hammer albums and introduces fans to Black Light’s multi-layered concept.
Black Light is a concept album by written entirely by Steve Babb in the months after he underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor. Set in 1979, it follows him at age 19, as he’s pulled into a mysterious black-light poster and into the world on the other side.
“Black Light is certainly the most surreal story I’ve attempted,” says Babb. “It’s an origin story, among other things, that tells how all of the Glass Hammer characters from Chronometree’s Tom to Dreaming City’s Skallagrim were brought to life.
