Half-Glassed

Apologies that I didn't manage to get a post up yesterday, I've been hellishly busy the last half-week or so. Still, hopefully the awesomeness of The Glass will make up for it.


The Glass are from NYC. Comparable to The Rapture, LCD Soundsystem, Daft Punk, etc... they're a veritable bloggers delight. If you're a fan of that sort of stuff, then I'd strongly urge you to check out the following tracks:

Fourteen Again
Mad At You

Fourteen Again sounds like a journey into a neon canyon full of static at midnight. The insistent chiming guitars and synth build up to a stunning climax that fades away leaving just an echo in your mind. Like looking at an intensely bright light that suddenly switches off, leaving the image imprinted on your retina. Mad At You, on the other hand, is a bit more disco-punk. Full of dancing-robot synths and angular guitars, the pace isn't quite as frenetic as Fourteen Again, but it's no less appropriate for dancing around your room in your underwear to.

I'm not entirely sure when their album is due out, or for that matter a tour, but I'll give you guys a heads-up if I hear anything.
