Music PHOTOS: Future Thieves // Kink Ador live at 3rd and Lindsley (Nashville) Last Sunday, during our fantastic weekend trip to Nasvhille, I had the great joy of seeing not just one but two alt rock bands who call Music City home, and proof that there’s more than folk and country to this place. The fairly spacious gastro music venue 3rd and
Music LIFE SOUNDTRACK: Poesie Noire - Verge of Tears I didn’t know anything about Poesie Noire when I bought this record in 80s – I was just on the hunt for alternative electronic music, which mostly meant to browse a bin in the back of the records store. Maybe I realized at that time that they were from Belgium,
NEW ALBUM: OLYA - Utopia OLYA is a singer/songwriter from Brooklyn, NY who had previously released an EP with the support of a guitar-driven six piece band. For her new EP, Utopia however, she plays almost all her music herself on her computer with only a few acoustic instruments mixed in. Looking for comparisons,

Song Picks of the Week Are you all about BBQ right now, or do your bones scream partyyyyy?! Here’s an upbeat, fresh party song for you by The Hundred Days, our Song Pick of Monday. “Take Me Home Where I Belong” sings AURORA in “Runaway” and presumably she means with that the beautiful, but
Music 3 Is A Band: Kink Ador When looking through Nasville’s event calendar, who would be playing the last weekend in May, I at first didn’t see any band that would sound appealing. Granted, I would not have been opposed to some honest country music, yet I definitely wanted to see some local musicians, some
Music TORRES mesmerizes at Baby's All Right Living in New York City, going to a live show once if not twice a week, I am rarely star struck. While I am always looking forward to the concert I am going to attend and the musicians I’ll be seeing live, I do not anticipate a show as
Music PHOTOS: Empires live at Pianos Empires, who are currently touring together with Geographer, also made a stop in New York to perform songs from their most recent album Orphan, released in September 2014. When I heard about their show at Music Hall of Williamsburg (May 21st), I was about to buy tickets when I learned
Song Picks of the Week Oh… this voice! The whole new album Lodge by Lone Wolf is beautifully flowing and simply amazing yet I’m especially smitten with Alligator. Listen to our Song Pick of Monday. For more info about Lone Wolf aka Paul Marshall, read his bio and the process for creating this album:
FKA twigs presents Congregata at The Brooklyn Hangar Sunday night we ventured to Sunset Park to see a special performance by FKA twigs as part of the Red Bull Music Academy series. The place, Brooklyn Hangar is a large warehouse, normally used as a sound stage, outfitted for a three night, sold out series, where Red Bull gave
Music LIFE SOUNDTRACK: Icehouse - Primitive Man I am undoubtedly firmly rooted in 80s music, mainly British 80s music, with stating U2, Tears for Fears or Depeche Mode as my favorite bands back then and today still. While I’ve seen those three live, each of them even several times at smaller and at bigger venues, like
Music New Album: Pale Honey - Pale Honey Sometimes there’s an album that sounds familiar from the first second on – even if it’s a debut from newcomers like the Swedish duo Pale Honey. I just feel at home with Tuva Lodmark’s vocals, which I could listen to for hours, the sparse, melodic guitar lines and
Music PHOTOS: Dead Leaf Echo live at Alphaville Having seen Dead Leaf Echo not even two months ago at this year’s South By Southwest festival, playing old favorites but also some of their exciting new material, I was especially intrigued to see them at a Brooklyn venue, that I didn’t know yet. Last Friday, they played
Music Song Picks of the Week Hazey by Glass Animals is just perfect for a Monday afternoon on the brink of a thunderstorm. It’s a chill and lush song, with a tropical feel to it and our Song Pick of Monday. Meg Remy aka U.S. Girls goes to D.C. for her video Damn
Music 3 Is A Band: Little May Little May are a three piece band from Sydney, Australia comprised of Liz Drummond (vocals, rhythm guitar), Hannah Field (vocals) and Annie Hamilton (lead guitar, vocals). What immediately got my attention, when listening to Little May was how much they remind me of Warpaint, the Californian all-female band with members
Music THROWBACK: Heaven 17 - The Luxury Gap In my opinion, The Luxury Gap by Heaven 17 is one of the best albums if the 80s. It’s not timeless, it’s clearly rooted in the decade, but it one hooky track after the other, hitting exactly the sweet spot between accessible and experimental. That makes it a
NEW ALBUM: Emika - Drei Once you start counting your albums, it is probably difficult to stop – although Emika may run out of languages for her next release: Drei is German for three and consistent with her chosen home of Berlin, Germany. Consistent is also the music on it, in a good way. She keeps
Music NEW ALBUM: TORRES - Sprinter I saw TORRES live not even two months ago, and it was kind of a resounding experience. I didn’t know what to expect, but certainly not to be absolutely blown away at 1:00 AM -and counting- in a presbyterian church in Austin, TX. Mackenzie Scott, who chose to
Song Picks of the Week Follow along with our daily song picks on glamglare’s Facebook page! Pattern Repeating is our Song Pick of the Monday. It’s on the hauntingly charming debut album of Elliot Moss. All twelve songs on Highspeeds are fine, often ethereal, electro-pop held together by Elliot Moss’ unique voice. Listen
Music PHOTOS: Highly Suspect live at SXSW 2015 Keeping a favorite for last… while our South By Southwest coverage ended about two weeks ago, there’s still a band left, I wrote about before but wanted to cover as well: Highly Suspect – a pretty awesome three piece from Cape Cod and if not touring, currently residing in Brooklyn
MUSIC BUZZ: Bully // Torres // Emika // More Alicia Bognanno at SXSW 2015 The Nashville band Bully is preparing a highly anticipated release this June and front woman Alicia Bognanno visited our favorite record store Rough Trade to select some records (apparently she didn’t have to buy them in the end). It’s finally here: since SXSW
Music PHOTOS: Weeknight live at Union Pool What a night! It was the first hot day of the year and it was Cinco de Mayo, so droves of people flocked to the Union Pool courtyard with its resident taco truck. But a good part of the crowd left the summer night party and made their way into
