VIDEO: Gold Class - Kids On Fire

Had I known last year at this time, what I know now, I would have known that “It’s You”, the September 4th, 2015 released album by Gold Class from Melbourne, Australia would become one of my favorite albums ever. Hands down. And -not surprisingly- Gold Class back up their

NEW TRACK: Bloodboy - Keep Your Disease

Bloodboy is the project of L.A. singer/songwriter Lexie Papillion. Her new track “Keep Your Disease” starts with a The-Cure-The-Forest vibe, then soars from there into an indie rock anthem.

NEW MUSIC: Rynn - Nightfires (EP)

Here at glamglare we love albums and EPs as they allow spending more time with the work of a particular artist. However, finding that time is often hard with the constant onslaught of new music. That’s why we are launching our new category “Listening Party” to showcase EPs and

SONG PICK: San Blas - Zaid

When played with skill and used wisely, the ukulele can bring an alluring element to a song and San Blas know exactly what to do with the little 4-string guitar. “Zaid” is a high-energy alt-rock track, that employs the uke as rhythm guitar, strumming fiercely along, while

PHOTOS: Letters to Nepal live at Cake Shop

We have seen New York via Siberia duo Letters to Nepal many times and there is always something new happening at their shows. At the core, they are a vocals plus laptop boy/girl duo but they tend to include new instruments, like an electric lamellaphone on stage. That helps

NEW MUSIC: Emotional - Emotional

Experimental electronic duo Emotional have released their self-titled debut album today and I love it. Plain and straightforward. Maybe a little bit like the album itself because it comes without any frills or superfluous. The album is more on the minimalistic and sparsely instrumented side but that is already

NEW TRACK: Tsar B - Swim

Belgian artist Tsar B has found a signature sound with dark, dramatic Middle-Eastern-influenced songs. Her debut EP is out now (Apple Music | Spotify).

VIDEO: Hannah Peel - All That Matters

“All That Matters” was already a Song Pick, but the video is worth another post. Watch Hannah Peel slowly fading into a dream world while she is singing the song. Some videos try to shock you, some are simply beautiful. I prefer the latter.

Q&A with CeaseTone

CeaseTone is an electro-indie-rock band from Reykjavik, Iceland that originated from the solo project of Hafsteinn Þráinsson. I no longer remember how and when exactly I came across CeaseTone’s debut album “Two Strangers,” which I got instantly enamored with, but when I decided to head to this

SONG PICK: Nightmaze - Markovian Parallax Denigrate

What is the “Markovian Parallax Denigrate”? I didn’t know but I looked it up. It’s quite fascinating: the Usenet, one of the early Internet protocols, turned from an academic tool into a dungeon where bots spamming each other with mysterious messages. The Australian duo Nightmaze, the project of

NEW TRACK: BeLL - Losing My Religion

It helps that “Losing My Religion” reminds me a good times in my life, but L.A. singer/songwriter BeLL put together a truly chill-inducing cover of the R.E.M. classic. BeLL has worked with many big names in the industry: for this track she chose to collaborate

SONG PICK: Elle Exxe - Sick

It’s almost impossible not to fall for the allure of “Sick”, the highly infectious new single by Elle Exxe. “Sick” is catchy dark-pop, with edge and style, and aside from Elle Exxe’s powerful vocals, the guitar solo at the end of the track is especially rad. Elle

NEW TRACK: Elohim - Hallucinating

L.A. Artist Elohim has just released her excellent debut E.P and is already out with a new song already: “Hallucinating” mixes many musical pieces together into something that indeed sounds like a hallucination.

NEW VIDEO: Whyte Lytes - Go Get It [Premiere]

“Go Get It” by U.K. indie-rockers Whyte Lytes, is a catchy guitar driven song, with an edgy vibe that got me after the first listen – roughly three months ago. Much to my chagrin, I forgot about it again, surrounded by a constant flow of new music. The more

3 Is A Band: VanLadyLove

VanLadyLove, an electro-pop/rock trio from Provo, UT are going on a tour across the United States and since they also make a stop in New York City, Pianos that is, I was curious how they would sound like, especially since they are three! Turns out Travis Van Hoff

SONG PICK: Bad Feelings - For You

As if a song title like “For You” would not get my attention already, then these bright, blissful synths lines do the trick with their distinct 80s feel, evoking memories of some of the best romantic movies of that time. “For You” is the latest absolutely gorgeous single by L.

NEW VIDEO: Dan Owen - Made To Love You

Singer/songwriter Dan Owen, hailing from Shrewsbury located somewhere between Birmingham and Liverpool in England, released a powerful video to his already amazing single “Made to Love You”. What makes the video so compelling, is its strong, thought-provoking narrative. In contrary to some other videos who take over with

NEW TRACK: The Away Days - World Horizon

“World Horizon” attracts with a beautifully melancholic vibe, a pulsating flow, dreamy surf-rock guitars and soft, bright vocals. This latest single by The Away Days is alluring on its own, but knowing where this music is being created adds to the allure, I think. I came across this dream-

SONG PICK: Flyying Colours - Long Holiday

Over here the summer is coming to an (unofficial) end, but music will help us to keep the feeling of a “Long Holiday” alive for a couple of more months. Melbourne, Australia, quartet Flyying Colours released the second single of their upcoming album “Mindfulness”, a shoegazy, psych-rock piece with

VIDEO: EMOTIONAL - Living in XTC

There is something simply irresistible about a sparsely instrumented track, with hypnotic vocals, and repetitive lyrics which all sounds unassuming on the surface but “Living in XTC” is too edgy and at the same time highly alluring to be easily dismissed. “Living in XTC” is the latest single by experimental

Music

SONG PICK: André Tajchman - Outbreath

The bright, soulful vocals stand in stark contrast with the desolation of the lyrical content and the downtempo, dark synth-pop of “Outbreath”. Yet together, this accounts for something irresistibly beautiful. “Outbreath” is the latest single by Belgian indie-artist André Tajchman based in London. There is also a shimmer

NEW TRACK: Negative Gemini - Rollercoaster

Three weeks before the release of her debut album “Body Works” Negative Gemini releases another track “Rollercoaster”, which features less vocals and reminds me more of her earlier work. Negative Gemini plays a Mondo.NYC showcase at Bowery Electric on September 15th.

SONG PICK: Two People - If We Have Time

The Two People are Phoebe Lou and Joey Clough from Australia. “If We Have Time” is a super chill, floating track with a dose of melancholy or “a sort of smiling defeat” how Phoebe puts it. This track is a few weeks old, so expect more of them soon.
