NEW ALBUM: Tamaryn - Cranekiss

At the glamglare HQ, for various reasons, the country of New Zealand comes up a lot lately and it may be the destination of our next big travel project. This will be mostly about the people and landscape there, but it is good to know that there is also an

Song Picks of the Week

Want You by Chloë Sunshine This is an older track, but perfect to celebrate summer as long as we can: NYC band Chloë Sunshine provides our Song Pick of Monday with their song Want You. What’s for Song Pick of Tuesday? Let’s stay put and spin the new

NEW ALBUM: Mensch - Tarifa

Mensch is the duo of Vale Poher and Carine “Marilou” Di Vita from the French town of Lyon. I’ve already loved their first, self-titled album in 2012 and still regret having missed their only NYC appearance in the defunct Bruar Falls. But now they are back with their second

Song Picks of the Week

This week we have only five, travel-inspired song picks. For next week we are back to normal, with one song per day. About to take off in Berlin for JFK and Verona by Lastlings would be the right song to dream away the time above the clouds, if I could

Song Picks of the Week

It’s summer and glamglare is on vacation. That’s why the Song Picks of the Week are a few days late and not complete. Still, enjoy the music! Icelandic band Samaris sets local poems to cool electronic beats. That makes an intriguing Song Pick of the Day. Aero Flynn’

Georgia releases debut album and visits NYC for for a breathtaking show to Baby's All Right

From time to time there’s an artist who hits close to my musical sweet spot (electronic, solo, female, driving beats). This year it looks like there will be even two of them and the first one, Georgia released her self-titled debut album yesterday. Georgia is from London and a

LIFE SOUNDTRACK: Chameleons - What Does Anything Mean? Basically

What Does Anything mean? Basically is the second album of the English band The Chameleons. My mother bought me the album, because she loved the ambient intro, not knowing that the remainder is guitar-driven post punk . It was also very different from what I liked at that time, but the

Song Picks of the Week

Gudiya by June and the Well Let’s quickly jet over the Atlantic to Italy, to listen to Francis by June and the Well. Luckily, we can all stay where we are and yet enjoy this sweet and mellow rock number, our Song Pick of Monday! There’s a lot

New This Week: Albert Hammond Jr. // Gwenno // Grimes

This week we couldn’t quite catch up with all the new music, but here are two albums we enjoyed. More is coming next week. Albert Hammond Jr. – Momentary Masters Albert Hammond Jr.’s second album sounds much like the Strokes but Julian Casablancas’ baritone and snarl is dearly missed.

ALBUM REVIEW: Evvol - Eternalism

Back in 2012 Julie Chance and Jon Dark, and Irish-Australian duo residing in Berlin released their first self-titled album under the name Kool Thing. Three years later they are back with their second album Eternalism under a new name, Evvol. Behind the name change is more than just improving their

Song Picks of the Week

Our Song Pick of Monday is a beautiful slow and moody track by Sofie Letitre from the Netherlands. It elegantly changes pace half way through – let yourself be surprised. Head over to Soundcloud for a free download. Hm… it’s grey but humid-hot outside and I’m sticking with highly

New this Week: Evvol // Emika // Dirty Ghosts // Hannah Peel // Nervo // Empress Of

Out this week Evvol – Eternalism Evvol is a Berlin-based duo whose music is difficult to classify, even more on their second album than on their first one, which they recorded as Kool Thing. Dark synth pop maybe comes closest, but better give it a listen yourself on Apple Music or

LIFE SOUNDTRACK: Man Parrish - Hip Hop Be Bop (Don't Stop)

This song was on a mixtape (a real one on cassette), which had an enormous influence on my relationship with music (it also included Run-D.M.C’s It’s like that). I didn’t own or copied it, but somebody played it on a school summer camp and that

Song Picks of the Week

Invigorated after a sunny, fun filled weekend? Keep the good feeling a litter longer and listen to Bright Young Things by Delamere. Our Song Pick of Monday is an instant mood booster! Thundercat’s Them Changes is a funky track with a wonderfully bouncy bass line. It’s the Song

New This Week: Tame Impala // Highly Suspect // MS MR // More

Tame Impala – Currents While we’re not the biggest Tame Impala fans on the planet, we grew quite fond of single Let it Happen. The album stays pretty much in the same vein which is departure from Tame Impala’s previous more guitar-driven sound. (Apple Music, Spotify). Highly Suspect – Mister

CATCH UP: Sexores - Historias de Frío

Historias de Frío by the Ecuadorian/Spanish duo Sexores came already out last year, but it is so good that we are introducing a new category here on glamglare: “Catch Up”, were we talk about albums that we fell in love with recently, but cannot longer be considered new releases.

Song Picks of the Week

There are so many cool songs with female names in their title which makes me wish I had one of them too… Kelly for example, a laid-back number by American Wrestlers and our Song Pick of Monday. The Flavr Blue delivers the soundtrack for the lazy July afternoon at the

Releases and Announcements: Heather Woods Broderick // Little Boots

Heather Woods Broderick – Glider If somebody releases music under her real name, in particular if it’s such a long one, it spells seriousness to me, often a tad too much. Glider is a serious album that carries a lot of sadness, but it often opens up to lush soundscapes

Life Soundtrack: Imagination - Just an Illusion

I can’t think of any other song that teleports me to a certain time and place in the same way as Just an Illusion by the British band Imagination. It was ’82 and I was with my dad on vacation on the Mediterranean island of Mallorca. There was a

Album Review: Bully - Feels Like

Bully at Maggie Mae’s (SXSW 2015) I found Bully the first time on the lineup for SXSW 2014. I was intrigued by the story of singer and songwriter Alicia Bognanno, who came to Nashville as a sound engineer. We missed their show back then, but one year later they

Song Picks of the Week

UK Band Landshapes plays Union Pool on July 16th. That’s why I listened to their song Stay and I really like it, so it’s our Song Pick of Monday. We’re staying in the UK but are leaving London, heading a bit further North to Norwich to listen

Releases and Announcements: Apple Music

Last week Apple Music went finally live and like always when Apple does something, everybody has to say something about it. Probably the most talked about feature is Beats 1, a 24 hours, global radio station poised to make listening to radio cool again. Many love it, including me: there’
