The Glands: Hey Joe. Oh, Hi Glands.
By Joey on May 4, 2010 in mp3blog
The Glands came to my attention in David Cross’s documentary, “Let America Laugh,” as one of those movie ending, “Holy Shit” songs (you know what I’m talking about fight club fans). Paralleling the Pixies revival, I decided to check out this undeservedly unknown band.
I would argue that of the Glands two albums, the self-titled sophomoric album is a clear Mona Lisa. The intro track kicks off strong, to be continued far after the last chord rings, as lead singer Ross Shapiro’s distinctive voice continues to echo through the impressionable canvas of our minds. Picking a song to put up here has been a very difficult process because they blend together very well, and whichever track I’m listening to happens to be my newfound favorite.
As far as the music itself is concerned, the band feels as laid back as a Sunday afternoon pool gathering without annoying little cousins. As I sink in to the relaxed groove and drench myself with the sweet, delicate indie-pop melodies, my mind cannonballs away into the Netherlands (figuratively speaking).
Soooooo, check them out.
