Glasvegas

Glasvegas

Working-class Glaswegian soul meets a massive wall of reverb. 1950s pop melodies buried under layers of feedback and raw, regional storytelling.

September 5, 2008

A heavy, reverb-drenched sense of urban melancholy that occasionally breaks into soaring, communal triumph.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive drum entry and soaring feedback swell that opens Geraldine.
The harrowing spoken-word delivery over a haunting piano motif in Stabbed.
The massive, heart-wrenching choral-style climax of Daddy's Gone.
