‘We needed a dance track, so we made a dance track’: Glaive and Kurtains announce their joint debut

Glaive and producer Kurtains have announced collaborative album ‘God Save The Three’, due 8th May via Glaive’s own Slowsilver03 imprint, alongside its sole single ‘The Troubles’.

The two have worked together across Glaive’s catalogue for several years, most recently on ‘Y’All’, his 2025 album that traced the story of an uprooted teenager returning to his hometown in North Carolina, set against glitch-pop and rave-leaning electronics. ‘God Save The Three’ takes that partnership a step further, positioning both as equal co-authors rather than artist and producer.

‘The Troubles’ is the album’s only single. Recorded in the Cotswolds and drawing on a wide range of dance music subgenres, it is four-to-the-floor and propulsive, built around what the pair have described as the tension between “modest yet lavish tendencies.” The video was filmed entirely in Kilkee on the west coast of Ireland, the dramatic Atlantic landscape providing an unlikely but effective backdrop for a track built for clubs. “We needed a dance track, so we made a dance track,” Glaive and Kurtains have said of the song.

‘God Save The Three’ is out 8th May.
