Out January 26, 2026, “Glimpse” is the latest album from Aberdeen’s Artillery Saints, the solo project of musician Ally McKenzie. Blending electronic beats with jazz, classical touches, and thought-provoking lyrics, McKenzie crafts an album that’s as catchy as it is deep.
The single “A Flurry Of Furies,” released January 19, punches through with intense energy and direct commentary on today’s world. Elsewhere, tracks like “Beauty Retreat” and “Hick In Suburbia” approach big topics—war, displacement, inequality—but with a sardonic wit that keeps things dynamic and engaging.
McKenzie’s choice to write, perform, and produce everything himself gives the album a strong, unified identity. Across eleven tracks, “Glimpse” refuses to settle into one genre or mood, skipping from protest anthems to dreamy instrumentals with confidence and style.
For fans of adventurous pop, literate songwriting, or just anyone hungry for something fresh and genuine in 2026, Artillery Saints’ “Glimpse” is well worth a listen.
