Glös began in 2005, when guitarist Keeley Davis and drummer Cornbread
Compton were casting about for a new project after their previous band,
the prolific emo act Engine Down, split up amicably. Living in different
cities, Davis and Compton primarily collaborated over the Internet,
writing songs separately and posting the sound files to each other for
further elaboration. Having written nearly two dozen songs in this
fashion, Davis then turned to his sister
Maura Davis, with whom he had
previously played in the moody, Portishead-influenced semi-electronic
quartet
Denali. Adding lyrics and vocals to the largely completed
backing tracks, the Chicago-based Maura completed the cross-country
trio. After nearly two years of writing and recording tracks while the
bandmembers lived in various cities, the newly named Glös released their debut album, Harmonium in the spring of 2007. ~ Stewart Mason
Notes:
Although the album "Harmonium" isn't my thing (why wouldn't you put Maura Davis's vocal front and centre?), Hidden Cities is a really nice collection of songs. If you enjoyed
Denali and
Ambulette then I recommend giving this EP a listen. The Download contains a rip of the 7" Vinyl, plus a remastered version of those tracks (in both FLAC and mp3) and the digital download version which includes the 2007 mixes of the tracks.
Tracklist:
01 - Break My Heart
02 - Lost And Found
03 - Sunshine
04 - All Love
