About
"Crash World exists in the yellow glow of Edison bulbs, leather couches and dark hardwood." - Pitch Perfect (Chicago)
Vancouver’s truly dynamic duo Crash World are a sonic tapestry of two voices and six strings by the accomplished and harmonious Glen MacLeod and Graham MacDonald. Their distinctive sound fuses the poetic whimsy of the ‘60s and the alluring boldness of the ’70s with a refreshing contemporary flare. Crash World sends a nostalgic message in a bottle to music lovers. The band was built on an affinity for infusing ragged beauty into songwriting and an uncompromising musicality.
In 2022, Crash World released, "So The Story Goes" an immersive full-length debut album which showcases their multifaceted talent. Their work is wildly sincere, endlessly captivating and refreshingly accessible to all.
Progressive Canadiana is one way to describe Crash World as they cover a lot of musical ground both in terms of songwriting and arrangements.
"So The Story Goes" has received stellar reviews from all around the world and Spotify streams are closing in on 340K.
In April of 2023 Crash World released the brand new stand-alone single and video, "Cup Of Coffee".
The song is about our human connection, the face-to-face connection and how beautiful it can be. Nobody said it was easy, but it is so important for us all.
The response and reviews have been incredible with both the Spotify streams and YouTube views over 25K and growing.
Crash World performs as an acoustic duo combining songs from the great American Songbook as well as original music from their debut album.
The live presentation has always been very Prohibition-era style, classy and old-timey. Blues, country, jazz, folk, ragtime are all paid their due and then onto rock, pop and alt-country. Songs are often introduced with a little historic perspective and insight. Audiences love it!
Crash World has a presentation and style that appeals to a incredibly wide age demographic.
