Glaston is a Swiss post‑rock band founded in 2014. The group performs entirely instrumental music, using their arrangements to convey atmosphere and narrative without vocals. Their sound blends delicate melodic lines with dynamic rhythmic structures, drawing influence from classical music, progressive rock and, at times, cinematic scoring. The band’s identity within the post‑rock genre is shaped primarily by its piano‑driven approach, which forms the core of their compositions. Their influences range from artists such as Ólafur Arnalds and Agent Fresco to A Perfect Circle. Glaston was formed in Zurich and Basel, and the lineup consists of Selina Maisch (piano), Jake Gutzwiller (guitar), Timo Beeler (bass) and David Preissel (drums). Their music is sometimes described as hypnotic due to its immersive and evolving structures. Through instrumental storytelling, the band aims to guide listeners through emotional and introspective landscapes. Their work often shifts between cinematic and melancholic moods, balancing subtlety with dynamic intensity. With orchestral‑leaning arrangements and carefully crafted soundscapes, Glaston explores themes ranging from inner tension to resolution, creating a sense of journey and transformation throughout their recordings.
