Beverly Glenn-Copeland announces 40th Anniversary of seminal album Keyboard Fantasies set for 27th November 2026 release on Transgressive.
The announcement, PR and pre-orders go live on Tuesday 15th September at 10:00AM.
This reissue features exclusive new artwork in a different colour palette and includes liner notes written by Robyn (as per the previous reissue). This is only the third time the album has been repressed (as limited as the previous represses). Alongside the 40th anniversary reissue, “Light Of The Heavens”, a recently discovered recording from that era is available as a physical offering for the first time in a limited 7” run.
Laughter In Summer, released earlier this year, followed Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s highly acclaimed 2023 record The Ones Ahead, as well as the 2024 collaboration with Sam Smith on a new recording of his classic song “Ever New” for the Red Hot Org Transa compilation record. Laughter In Summer is also nominated for the Polaris Music Prize. Glenn will also be featured in the upcoming season at MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto) next year. The exhibition will consist of "Light of the Heavens " being displayed (audio + video) in their South Stairwell Sound Series. Glenn most recently was awarded with "CMF Barrier Breaker Award" at TIFF Festival in recognition of his groundbreaking career that has defied convention, expanded possibilities for trans artists and inspired generations through music, storytelling and creative expression.
Glenn began his musical career in the 1960s when he studied classical singing at Montreal's McGill University and performed at Expo 67. A pair of self-titled, multi-genre albums released in the early '70s showcased his powerful voice and songwriting talent. In 1986, while living in rural Ontario, Glenn taught himself to use digital synthesis and recorded the album that would ultimately alter the entire course of his career. At the time, he self-released Keyboard Fantasies via a 200-copy cassette run, selling just a handful while the rest waited in storage. In 2015, a Japanese record collector emailed Glenn about selling the remainder; a new generation had unearthed his art. The music spread globally, and a few years later, in his 70s, Glenn embarked on his first European tour to share his songs with live audiences, a journey captured in Posy Dixon’s 2019 celebrated documentary Keyboard Fantasies.
Recent performances include a transportative set at Primavera Sound, as well as a stunning rendition with Elizabeth of their song “Harbour” on Later... with Jools Holland. Glenn and Elizabeth performed across European festivals this summer, including Harry Styles’ Meltdown Festival via personal invitation from the artist himself. In 2027 they will perform three nights across Canada, celebrating 40 Years of Keyboard Fantasies: The Music of Beverly Glenn-Copeland.
