Glös [2007] Harmonium


sound: Indie Rock/Chill Sauce
myspace
Glös is a band that started much like Able Baker Fox a transferring of  mp3 files from one band bro to another,  an idea from one talented musician to another equally formidable musical genius, and they combined like a  fucking megazord for one sick ass moment in time. Thus once again, a musical miracle was born.
If you like Denali, Ambulette, Sparta, or Engine Down firstly let me say: hi, you're on the right fucking page my friend, and secondly: your probably going to like this. More Maura Davis having a voice that drips of sex, more Keeley Davis playing the most melancholy and heavy hitting riffs your indie rock heart can pound to, and more of sexy Cornbread Compton drums giving you a pulsating hard on. Sometimes when the stars align just right, some pretty epic shit transpires in the music world, this band is no exception.

sounds like: all bands in bold above

Bang = vbr.

I am not usually comfortable plugging anything that gets play on Vh1 after an Eagle Eye Cherry video, however... this album is great. For people who were pleasantly surprised to find themselves enjoying Amy Winehouse's album despite her being an alien, you will enjoy this.
I'll tell you what though, this broad has pipes.

sounds like: (genre wise) Amy Winehouse, Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin?, maybe Barbara Lewis
(talent wise) Denali, Ambulette, Brandi Carlile, Miss Emily Brown, Alessi's Ark

Gwarr!

Sound: Indie/Ambient
Length: 9 songs, 38.46 minutes
myspace
1. "Hold Your Breath"
2. "Surface"
3. "Run Through"
4. "The Instinct"
5. "Do Something"

This band broke up for a while, and was Ambulette and some other shit for a while. (I only say some other shit, cus who gives a fuck their bad ass vocalist went to Ambulette and the other guys went somewhere to masterbate and cry.)
As i was saying they broke up, but at the end of last year they got back together and have been fucking around in the studio, hopefully to release a new press. They have two acoustics up on their myspace here.
Anywho, im not a huge proprietor of female vocalists, but this broad has serious pipes. Ultra chill, give it a listen.

sounds like: Ambulette, This Is Your Captain Speaking, Beach House, Emily Haines
