Glass Candy was an American electronic music duo from Portland, Oregon, formed in 1996 by vocalist Ida No and producer and multi-instrumentalist Johnny Jewel.
"[2] Their early releases drew heavily from no wave, post-punk, and art rock,[1][9] as evidenced in their self-released first three singles, "Brittle Women" (1999), "Metal Gods" (2001) and a cover of Josie Cotton's "Johnny Are You Queer" (2002).
[12] Glass Candy's song "Digital Versicolor" was featured prominently in Nicolas Winding Refn's 2008 film Bronson, partially in a pair of scenes, and in full over the closing credits.
"Warm in the Winter" was used in Balenciaga's Fall/Winter 2012/2013 fashion show,[18] as well as in advertising campaigns and short films for companies such as Lucky Brand Jeans and Red Bull.
"[22] Glass Candy was invited to perform at a private Chanel party in Berlin on November 20, 2012 to celebrate the release of Karl Lagerfeld's book The Little Black Jacket.
Symmetry, Jewel's instrumental project with Nat Walker, opened the evening with an atmospheric 80-minute set leading up to Lagerfeld's arrival.
On August 5, 2013, Glass Candy released a music video for the song "Redheads Feel More Pain", which appears on the Italians Do It Better compilation album After Dark 2.
[24][25] Glass Candy's song "Warm in the Winter" has been licensed for usage in many films, TV shows, and advertisements, including the American television series Scream Queens.
[1] Glass Candy has covered songs by James "Sugar Boy" Crawford,[30] Kraftwerk, Roxy Music, Belle Epoque, Dark Day,[31] the Rolling Stones, and Queen.
