Good Day Noir Family,
From the very first note, In The Valley Of The Cherry Trees feels like stepping into a dream you’re not sure you want to wake from.
In The Valley Of The Cherry Trees is Glass Rumours’ Single Out Now
The song carries an almost cinematic presence, unfolding with grace. Gemma’s voice is hypnotic—soft but rich with a subtle tension, like a dancer luring you closer with each movement.
There’s an undeniable sensuality in her delivery, but it’s wrapped in mystery, leaving you enchanted and slightly wary, as if there’s a secret waiting to be uncovered.
Paul’s composition shines through with a level of refinement that recalls the elegance of artists like Sting. The chord progression isn’t just pleasing—it’s intelligent, layered with nuances that reward repeated listens.
There’s a certain sophistication in the way the melody moves, balanced by an inviting warmth that makes it instantly approachable. It’s a track that doesn’t just entertain; it immerses you in its own world.
There’s also a whimsical, almost fantasy-like quality to the arrangement. It could easily underscore a cinematic moment in a Disney film, carrying light and shadow, sweetness and a hint of the unknown. That duality—fantasy mixed with subtle ambiguity—is what makes the song linger in your mind long after it ends.
Produced entirely by the band, In The Valley Of The Cherry Trees is proof that Glass Rumours have a firm grasp on every facet of their craft.

Nobody writes songs that are actual stories these days. So this song has an evil witch that has magical powers and lives in a place where she’s able to “collect” unsuspecting visitors with her evil charm! We recorded a lot of the percussion in the verse in the woods – banging random bits of tree and bark to make a woodland soundscape.
Glass Rumours are the delightfully odd, musically gifted duo from London who make rich, harmony-led pop songs soaked in sincerity and just the right amount of mischief. The band is Gemma and Paul — two humans with wildly different skill sets and a shared love for melody, storytelling, and late-night pancake discussions.
Gemma brings the voice of a celestial entity, posture that inspires chiropractors, and a personality so sweet she could probably settle international disputes with a single polite nod. Equal parts Disney enthusiast and harmony perfectionist, she can sniff out a dodgy vocal line or a hidden burger joint in a foreign village with the same uncanny instinct. Just don’t ask her to arrive on time—or pass a cat without sneezing.
Paul is the idea machine. A musical multi-tool with a flair for creativity, he’s the kind of person who’ll fix your mic stand, draw your portrait, and forget your name all in the same hour. Known for his bucket-of-chicken dreams and a worryingly deep attachment to 1980s fantasy films, Paul brings the heart, soul, and occasional existential crisis to the Glass Rumours universe.
Together, Gemma and Paul are a chaotic harmony of quirks, talent, and genuine musical chemistry — a band where pancakes, fairy lights, snorkels, and soft toys shaped like toast all make perfect sense.
