Glass Vaults is a New Zealand indie rock[not verified in body] band formed in Wellington, New Zealand. The band was founded by Richard Larsen, and Rowan Pierce in 2010 after graduating from Toi Whakaari. The band name was inspired by the vaulted ceilings of cathedrals. In 2013, the band began work on their first full-length album Sojourn which was released by Flying Out in mid-2015. Sojourn included such singles as "Life is the Show" and "Ancient Gates", which received extensive airplay on alternative radio stations such as 95bFM and Radioactive. Their second album The New Happy, was released in mid-2017 in New Zealand. The band took aural cues from Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and influences from tracks of Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, and Grace Jones with minimal reverb and dry sounding percussion.
