PREORDER HUMAN™ - OUT MARCH 3
Intimate Dysfunction is an unflinching look at the ways desire, fear, and identity collide. Writing from the fractures of human intimacy—where performance meets panic, and pleasure becomes a metric of worth—GLΛSS HABIT deconstructs the scripts we are forced to follow.
Each track dives into a different form of sexual and emotional struggle: the quiet paralysis of performance anxiety, the echoes of trauma, the digital distance of overstimulation, and the dysphoria of a body that feels like a "second skin." This record doesn’t offer cures; it holds space. It is a sanctuary for men taught to be invincible, for women drained by invisible labor, for trans voices claiming their truth, and for the asexual hearts redefining what it means to connect.
Blending dark pop, emo rock, and cinematic melancholy, Intimate Dysfunction transforms shame into sound. It is not an album about sex—it is an album about the courage required to be seen.
1. Soft Failure
Theme: Fragility and the Male Myth
The quiet panic of a body that won't obey. Soft Failure redefines masculinity through the lens of vulnerability, turning sexual performance anxiety into a sacred confession. It asks the terrifying question: If I let go of being strong, can I still be held?
2. Locked Room
Theme: Trauma and Patient Empathy
A study in trust. Told through the eyes of a compassionate partner, Locked Room honors the slow rebuilding of safety after violation. It reframes intimacy not as an entry to be forced, but as a sanctuary to be guarded until the "yes" begins to glow.
3. Redefine Me
Theme: Rebirth and Authenticity
An anthem for the trans and gender-diverse experience. Redefine Me is a love letter to the process of shedding a "borrowed name" to stitch a body from a dream. It celebrates the holiness of the cracks where a truer self begins.
4. Too Soon
Theme: The Weight of Disappointment
Capturing the moment tenderness turns to distance. Too Soon explores the "too fast, too deep" endings that leave a lover feeling small. It’s the sound of the shame we wear when we feel we’ve come up short.
5. Blank Static
Theme: Chemical Numbness
The hollow price of mental stability. This track portrays the disconnect of medication-induced dysfunction—where the body hums but the heart is "on read." It is a haunting look at life in the grey, where desire is ghosting down the line.
6. Anatomy of Want
Theme: Fatigue and Invisible Labor
A voice for the emotional exhaustion that kills pleasure. Anatomy of Want examines how desire isn't just a flame, but a byproduct of safety and rest—and how women are often blamed for the coldness that society creates.
7. Rewired
Theme: Evolution and Aging
A rejection of the myth that passion decays with time. Rewired finds confidence in the "slower, deeper, wiser" rhythm of a changing body. It proves that connection isn't lost as we age; it’s simply re-learned.
8. Performance Art
Theme: Routine and Pretension
When intimacy becomes a masquerade. This track laments the death of authenticity, where lovers become actors following a rehearsed script. It asks what happens when faking the heat becomes the only way to stay alive.
9. Second Skin
Theme: Dysphoria and the Mirror
Peeling away the armor of body image. Second Skin explores the uneasy love of being seen when you don't recognize yourself. It’s a raw struggle to find the soul beneath the "twisted tones" of the mirror.
10. Split Signal
Theme: Digital Disconnection
Modern loneliness filtered through a screen. Split Signal captures the irony of being "connected" but untouched—loving in pixels while the body aches for real insight across a thousand miles of static.
11. Inches and Ego
Theme: Satire and Body Obsession
A darkly comic takedown of sexual myths. This track dissects the absurdity of measuring worth by a ruler, exposing the emptiness of a "myth" that forgets to check what’s real inside.
12. Artificial Feeling
Theme: The Perfection of Control
The lonely comfort of a partner without conflict. Artificial Feeling explores the allure of "silicone sincerity"—love without risk or morning fights—until the joke dissolves into the silence of a pulse-less room.
13. Overstimulated
Theme: Sensation and Addiction
A descent into the "pixelated pleasure" of digital consumption. Overstimulated captures the loss of meaning in a world of endless access, where we trade human touch for a synthetic dream.
14. Mercy Code
Theme: Control as Devotion
When the language of care becomes a cage. Mercy Code unravels the illusion of loving dominance, exploring the blurred lines where boundaries fail and "mercy" is just another word for obedience.
15. Mirror Test
Theme: Dysmorphia and Validation
Staring into the reflection that never matches the feeling. Mirror Testis a confessional about the struggle to trust a partner's praise when you are still "learning the language of shame."
16. Placebo Heart
Theme: The Medicalization of Love
A critique of treating the soul like a condition to be cured. Placebo Heart questions the sterile data of "chemical sparks," arguing that desire can never be fully contained in a clinical file.
17. Self Diagnosis
Theme: Acceptance and Imperfection
The final chapter. Self Diagnosis concludes the album with the quiet realization that there is no cure for being human. It is an anthem for the "fractured soul" that is still divine in its damage.
18. Quiet Fire
Theme: Presence over Performance
The calm after the storm. Quiet Fire is the discovery of an intimacy that no longer needs to impress or "prove" anything. It is the slow rebirth of a love that burns without the fear of being wrong, finding power in the slowest hands and the gentlest proof.
19. Hard Reset
Theme: Reclaiming the Glitch
The album’s final act of rebellion. After 18 tracks of labels and diagnoses, the narrator stops trying to "fix" the machine and starts chasing the pulse. Hard Reset is a raw, guitar-driven anthem for sex that is messy, imperfect, and human—reclaiming the "glitch" as the very thing that proves we are alive.
20. Battery Operated
Theme: Humility and Irony
A wry, tender closing confession. Battery Operated finds the narrator lying half-awake, listening to a lover finish what he couldn't. It’s a song devoid of bitterness, replaced by a quiet, humbler kind of grace. It ends the album not with a perfect cure, but with a peaceful, mechanical hum in the dark.
