Jack's Mannequin

The Glass Passenger

The Glass Passenger is the second album by American
alternative rockers Jack’s Mannequin. It captures frontman
Andrew McMahon during a darker period, after he was
diagnosed with leukaemia. Some painful subjects are
woven into the pop-rock and orchestral sounds. McMahon’s
piano play is placed besides other instruments, and you feel
the synergy between him and his bandmates. Even without
knowing his backstories you’ll feel related to the music and
lyricism. From the slow-burning “Spinning” to the razor
sharp single “Swim”, it’s a versatile and colourful album.
Jack’s Mannequin is the side project of Andrew McMahon
from Something Corporate. They recorded three albums
during their existence. With their strong sense of melody
and piano playing they gained lots of publicity. McMahon
crafted some incredible pop songs for the band.
