The Glass take all that’s good from the last decade of indie music and work into their soundscapes the qualities of Memphis, Tennessee: slow, easygoing, polite (to your face), good food, good friends. Like a still day in the summer heat, where Ol’ Man River, the Mighty Mississippi, is as smooth as glass.
there's another "The Glass" from nyc and they are amazing. look for the song "hear the music". i heard them on the comp "young sound of new york" part 1 or 2 that came out recently
Nice, thanks.
um .. yeah this band is anthematic, I don't know if that is a word but it should be …
They also work in some of the more unseemly aspects of Memphis: the gritty, slow decay of an old Southern city that has seen better days, sitting on the curb with a bottle of whiskey in hand, under the oppressive, humid heat. In a very good way, of course.
It is always good to find a really good band from the Motherland.
