This standalone single, their first new material in over a year, found The Cribs returning to their indie rock roots after a period of experimentation. It was a confident statement of intent, showcasing their knack for writing sharp, hook-laden guitar anthems.
- The single was produced by The Cribs themselves, with additional production from Dave Eringa, known for his work with Manic Street Preachers and Kylie Minogue.
- "Glitters Like Gold" was recorded at their own Crash Top studio in Wakefield.
- The single was released on Wichita Recordings, the same label that put out their first three albums.
Hailing from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, The Cribs are a famed indie rock trio known for their raw, energetic sound and distinctive three-guitar attack. By 2012, they were already veterans of the UK independent scene, having navigated a path that included major label dalliances and a unique dual-vocalist dynamic.
