Song Picks of the Week

Monday we were celebrating the wedding of one of our best friends. All the best wishes to her and her husband! But we have only six song picks for this week. Sorry. Like me, you might enjoy some psychedelic tunes on this gorgeous Tuesday morning: how about Kiss the Sun,

LIFE SOUNDTRACK: Placebo - Pure Morning

On our second visit in New York City in 1998, for the occasion of our honeymoon, we visited the Virgin Megastore on Times Square, which of course doesn’t exist anymore. I bought two records there: Hole’s Celebrity Skin and Placebo’s Without You I’m Nothing. Both bands

Song Picks of the Week

Here are our song picks of last week. Find them every Monday morning (EST) here or follow along day by day on our Facebook page. Labor Day… no holiday in Australia though, hence we choose our Song Pick of Monday from there with Sandy by Oh Mercy A warm, driving,

Mothica plays first show ever at Palisades

Mothica plays first show ever at Palisades

It is exciting to have the opportunity to witness the first show of an artist who probably has a long career in front of her (if she wishes to have one). Mothica from Brooklyn took the stage at Palisades to sing a few songs that will (probably) make it on

Song Picks of the Week

Monday is a good day to present new music, so we will post our Song Picks of the Week one day later in the future. Today is also Labor Day in the U.S. and the unofficial end of summer. At glamglare, we are looking forward to fall, to lots

LIFE SOUNDTRACK: Depeche Mode - Strangelove

With the summer waning, on the calendar, not exactly weather-wise in NYC yet, I’m thinking of memorable music-related summer moments in my life. One of them was 1987 in the Southern France town of St. Tropez. I was with a friend on a four weeks poset graduation trip and

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’

LIFE SOUNDTRACK: Spliff - Herzlichen Glückwunsch

<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/G5VEh95qMWg?wmode=opaque&enablejsapi=1" height="480" width="640" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""> Elke already introduced the Berlin band Spliff, whose first two albums were both excellent.

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.
