NEW MUSIC: Sofi Tukker - Treehouse

There are two things to report about our favorite dance music duo Sofi Tukker: First their debut album “Treehouse” is out, packed with hit songs like “Johny” or “Fuck They”. Second, their new single “Baby I’m A Queen” tackles the use “Baby” as a nickname, which happens to be

SONG PICK: Zoey Lily - Last Goodbye

From the NYC point of view, our Song Pick of the Day is somewhat of a counter-programming. With spring finally knocking on the door you’re inclined to think about new beginnings, but London-based singer/producer Zoey Lily is about to bid a reluctant “Last Goodbye” in her latest single.

NEW MUSIC: Kid Brunswick - nevermine

If someone makes music as absolutely exciting as Kid Brunswick, then they can get away with making themselves rare. For now. Understandable, that the 19 years old singer/songwriter/producer is rolling out his online-persona slowly but this will change quickly if he keeps on releasing one extraordinarily awesome single

NEW MUSIC: joan - I Loved You First

First there are these little signs, that get more, and they pile up until they can no longer be ignored. The falling out of love. This awful feeling of sensing an end to something beautiful which joan are pondering in their latest song “I Loved You First”. Essentially saying something

SONG PREMIERE: Robert Granata and Blackstone - Paint The Truth

What to expect from a song titled “Paint The Truth”? Some contemplation maybe, intensive soul searching? When Robert Granata sings about “staring at my faded reflection, looking for the good old times / days we would laugh, stay out all night, waiting for the sun to rise”, he does exactly that,

NEW MUSIC: Vinegar Mother - Moon Tomb

Beautifully jazzy, with rich and expressive vocals that tell a story all on their own, “Moon Tomb” is one of those songs that would be fitting in the world’s most famous hotel bars. The exquisitely instrumented and executed “Moon Tomb” is the latest single by Brooklyn-based psychedelic soul-rock quintet

Music

SONG PICK: Juliana Daugherty - Player

What a debut single! “Player”, the first taste of Juliana Daugherty’s upcoming album “Light”, starts on just guitar and vocals but slowly opens up into a more cinematic space. It is a story “about the experience of watching someone close to you disappear down a rabbit hole-falling deeper and

Music

SONG PICK: Andy Cook - Red Lights

There is love at first sight, and more aptly there is also love at first listen, and it took me a second round of listening to get fully into “Red Lights”. The track starts out with bright guitar strumming, counter balanced by Andy Cook‘s soothing baritone and creating a

VIDEO PREMIERE: Coralcrown - She is a Saint

“She is a Saint” is an instantly appealing, passionate song, one that sticks and lingers which also plays in favor of the visual treatment the single received. The video to “She is a Saint” tells some sort of love story but the lines between narrative and dream elements or wishful

Music

SONG PICK: So Below - Visions

So Below is the project musician Madeline North, who collaborated with fellow New Zealanders Chelsea Jade, Sam McCarthy and Aaron Short for her single “Visions”. The song is an atmospheric, dark piece of electro-pop, but with an upbeat message as Madeline explains: This track is about not getting complacent and

NEW MUSIC: Odina - Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division Cover)

Covering a song like “Love Will Tear Us Apart” requires courage: the 1979 Joy Division track is iconic and connected with the tragic story of singer Ian Curtis. But London-based singer/songwriter Odina hits the mark. Listen yourself on SoundCloud or Spotify:

SONG PICK: The Cuckoos - Heartbreak Paradise

“Heartbreak Paradise” is the new single & video by Austin psych-rockers The Cuckoos, and it sizzles with a ton of swagger and promise. Kenneth Frost (vocals, keyboards) offers the following insight to “Heartbreak Paradise”: “It’s about a place for all the people that have fallen in and out of

Music

VIDEO PREMIERE: Pale Houses - The Ocean Bed

The beautifully flowing “The Ocean Bed” is the lead single of Pale Houses‘ recently released album “Songs of the Isolation” and it got some video treatment. The Nashville-based quartet kept it simple and focused on what is important and came up with a zen-like lyric video. We are psyched to

NEW MUSIC: Abi Wade - Beautifully Astray (album)

The cello is the main instrument of Brighton-based singer/songwriter Abi Wade, but there is a lot more going on on her debut album. Her song feel like miniature worlds in itself, brimming with ideas. Like her new single “Reasonable Doubt”, which she describes as follows: I imagine a twisted

Music

SONG PICK: Ralph - September Fades [Video]

“September Fades” is a bright, nostalgic pop song by Toronto-based artist Ralph that will stick in your head for at least the rest of the day. Director Gemma Warren created the matching visuals for the track: follow RALPH and several other characters on an evening in a motel from the

Music

SONG PICK: Prize the Wild - Go Nowhere

Seattle-based Indie electronic duo Prize the Wild create that kind of electro pop that comes with a lot of soulfulness and longing. “Go Nowhere” is a beautifully moody track, grounded by the earthy vocals and elevated by some serious brass action, the latter rather unusual for electro pop and the

Music

SONG PICK: Alexandra Lost - Towers

Alexandra Lost are Jane Ehrhardt and Simon Paradis from Quebec City, Canada. That is all we know for now, but their first release, “Towers” speaks for itself with an ominous bass line, chilling synths and androgynous vocals. Turn the volume up and enjoy! Listen to “Towers”, our Song Pick of

PHOTOS: glamglare presents - Official SXSW2018 Showcase

When we stepped into The Iron Bear in Austin, TX four years ago to attend one of our first SXSW shows ever, we would not have dared to dream of ever placing a glamglare banner behind the stage and welcoming six bands to our music blog’s showcase. But dreams

NEW MUSIC: Young Galaxy - Down Time album & Frontier video

Young Galaxy was responsible for two of my favorite songs last year and tomorrow finally their new album “Down Time” comes out. While the Montreal-based duo has been around for a while, “Down Time” is a new start of making music independently on their own label. To celebrate the occasion,

SONG PICK: Lowell - War Face

Liking a young artist, who is just starting out, is easy. There’s not much to compare them too, and their often unapologetic approach to making music is refreshing. What happens next though is important. Can they hold and deliver again? And again? Fortunately, our initial fascination, originating with Lowell‘

SONG PREMIERE: Spaces Of Disappearance - Mr. Nobody

Spaces of Disappearance is the project of Chicago-based singer/producer Elaine HD and at glamglare we have been following her work since the show at the 2015 CMJ festival. That is why we are particularly delighted to premiere the first single of her upcoming EP  “The Eye”, to be released

SONG PICK: Hvmmingbyrd - Papillon

What is better than an intriguing singing voice? Two of the very same! “Papillion” is alluring in any way possible but it is maybe the stellar vocal harmonies that give the track its stand-out appeal. There are Deborah Byrne’s but also Suzette Das’ vocals, and together they form the

SONG PICK: Hydrah - Fire

“Fire”, a new piece by L.A. based singer/producer Hydrah is a track that continuously induces growing heat over its five minutes, with a steady house beat and Katie Kramarczuk’s rich and soulful vocals. And there is some other ingredient, which turns out to be a recording of

When New York’s rock legends Statues of Liberty took the stage of The Delancey on February 24, things went full circle for us at glamglare: the band of John Law, Prince Hal and Hitomi was among the first local acts we followed through the live clubs of Downtown Manhattan,

SONG PICK: CONFUSE-RAY - Quarterly Projections

The most fascinating about “Quarterly Projections” are the powerful rock-vocals, with lots of swagger plus a touch of brooding darkness and oddly familiar sounding. Although, it’s unlikely that we would know Elmer Hallsby‘s vocals, the musician behind CONFUSE-RAY. Elmer plays bass in the Swedish quartet Dead Vibrations but
