Glass Vaults are New Zealand natives Richard Larsen and Rowan Pierce. To date, they have released two EP's, both on Fort Lauderdale based Label, Jukboxr. The pairs' songs hypnotically migrate between subtle electronics and pulsating percussion that serves as a rich textural veneer to Larsen's haunting yet sentimental vocals. Whilst Larsen and Pierce are the core songwriters and performers in Glass Vaults, they also work extensively with Bevan Smith (Signer, Over the Atlantic and The Ruby Suns).
