Cold War Kids – Molding Of Mine Is Yours

Ryan Reed March 23, 2011 No Comments

Cold War Kids' recorded mission since the beginning has been to "match what they've done on-stage." With their latest album, Mine is Yours (their third full-length), the goal was to finally realize that vision, taking a little more time in the studio to craft a long-lasting sonic monument, one that would stack up to their peers like TV on the Radio and Arcade Fire, who, according to Willett, "sound very labored with so many layers of tracks." Working in Nashville with big-name producer Jacquire King (well-known for his contributions to Kings of Leon and Modest Mouse albums), Cold War Kids wanted to go the next step in their journey, achieving a "eureeka" moment that could serve as a fresh start.

Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion: Crystal Clear

Leslie Michele Derrough March 15, 2011 No Comments

What a wonderful sound, when two beautiful voices converge in harmony to form a melody that is so pleasant you feel as if you could reach out and touch it.

The Dismemberment Plan – Celebrating An Emergency

Ryan Reed March 7, 2011 No Comments

Washington D.C. legends The Dismemberment Plan released four hugely influential albums in the burgeoning indie rock scene of the late '90s and early 2000s, earning vast critical praise for their unique blend of calculated math-rock rhythms, dexterous instrumental skills, and quirky, off-beat tunes about disconnect and confusion in a rapily changing world. They've also proved to be one of the most influential bands of its era, along the way influencing everyone from Death Cab for Cutie to At the Drive-In.

Cage The Elephant- Unrestrained Mayhem

Leslie Michele Derrough February 25, 2011 No Comments

They have one of those names that makes you wonder what the heck they were thinking when they chose it but in actuality it fits them very well. The catchy jittery unrestrained songs that come from a happy jittery unrestrained singer that you can’t seem to well…. “cage."

Steve Hackett – Prog Rock Pioneer

Ryan Reed February 21, 2011 No Comments

Hackett's been especially busy lately: Besides his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis (Finally, prog rock gets some Hall of Fame love!), he's released two albums within the last year-and-a-half (2009's full-length Out of the Tunnel's Mouth and the 2010 live album Live Rails). Glide recently had the chance to catch up with Hackett, touching on his recent projects, his inspirations, and the inevitable Genesis questions…

Cake – We’re Not Trying To Be Hippies

Ryan Reed February 14, 2011 No Comments

Showroom of Compassion, Cake's newest album, is no exception to this recipe. After a nearly seven year break (Has it really been that long?), McCrea and company have returned with another great—not mind-blowing—but great album. Which is totally fine—in today's "Make A Grand Statement" age, it's nice to know that Cake are still the great little band we've always loved, even if they aren't blowing anyone's minds. This time around, the band did decide to record with 100% solar energy, which is undeniably impressive, but outside of that press release-clogging tidbit, pretty much nothing has changed.

PJ Harvey – Takes Us Back To England (INTERVIEW)

Peter Zimmerman February 7, 2011 No Comments

Let England Shake continues where PJ Harvey's White Chalk let off– not in sound but in aesthetic endeavor. It’s a daring step forward for Harvey. Dissenters may cite alienation as their key grievance for this new era in Harvey’s career, wishing for a return to the lower register singing and gripping guitar playing that characterized much of her 90’s work. In many ways, they’re not wrong to feel frustrated at Harvey’s new sound; however, reinvention is central to her artistic process, and to deny expansion is limiting and hampers potentially new avenues for Harvey’s self expression.

David Lowery – Going Solo 27 Years Later

Joanne Schenker February 3, 2011 No Comments

Is David Lowery going solo these days? Yes and no, according to him. His latest collection, The Palace Guards, takes Camper and Cracker’s frontman to untouched territory within his mind and music. What may sound familiar is the trusted circle of musicians Lowery has relied on for over 17 years and who are once again instrumental in creating the sounds for The Palace.
