SONG PICK: inc. no world - Waters of You

Listening to “Waters of You” evokes the feeling of walking on an empty beach, on a warm, not too hot, Summer day, bright sunlight glistening through the waves when it starts to drizzle, just lightly, the sweet water drops mixing with the saltwater ones, when you are setting one bare

3 Is A Band: The Greasy Slicks

A few days ago, I came across The Greasy Slicks, another absolutely rad indie blues rock band with psychedelic and even grunge touches. The main hubs -solely from my own perspective- for bands like this seem to be London, New York and Melbourne. This trio, and they are often trios,

SONG PICK: Odina - You Loved Me, You Killed Me

“You loved Me, You Killed Me” is a quiet and sad song about the end of a relationship. “I loved mysteries until you became one” she sings about the moment when one realizes that love comes to an end. The song builds up beautifully, from the sparse, intimate guitar melody

There’s something magical about “Pharao”, the new single by London synthpop band BOA because you don’t realize it at first how its wistfulness instantly grabs you and doesn’t let go. Powerful beats and heavy bass lines, over sparse piano melodies set the backdrop for achingly beautiful vocals

From the start, there’s no escape and falling for “Hollandia” is unavoidable! The new single by Manchester quintet Ethan & The Reformation, is one irresistibly hot, fuzzy alt-rock gem with wistfully raspy vocals, steady beats and stellar guitar work. “Hollandia” comes with a clear 60s vibe yet so fresh

NEW ALBUM: Purple - Bodacious

After their highly acclaimed debut album “409”, the Texas trio Purple just released the absolutely fabulous follow-up “Bodacious”.

Just came across the new single by New York duo Corbu and could not wait to put it out on glamglare! What I maybe like the most about “Better Better Off”, is its gorgeous flow. With it’s mellow, slightly trippy vibe, the track can be compared to the earlier

SONG PICK: Stalgia - In The Trees

Stalgia are Lauren Day and Brandon Leslie who make music together in L.A. “In The Trees” is a sensual track full of rich electronic textures and snappy beats (and some down-pitched vocals, which seem hard to avoid these days). I like it how the instrumentation subtly changes and of

LATE NIGHT: Young Summer - Paused Parade

“Empire Of The Animal” is the follow-up single to the wildly popular “Summer Sucks” by L.A. indie-pop duo Shallows, comprised of Dani Poppitt and Marshall Gallagher. There’s a beautiful melancholy to “Empire Of The Animal”, created by dense layers of ambience and percussion as well as vocals that
