Gliss

極端的電吉他的轟鳴,女主唱慵懶的演唱,厚厚的英式搖滾,偶爾還帶點迷幻.我就喜歡這樣的極具個性的音樂.這支來自美國LA的三人組合第二張新專輯一經(jīng)推出就被幾大網(wǎng)站(包括朋友的BLOG)給予很高的評價.這支地下樂隊終于正式的走向大眾的目光下,舒緩節(jié)奏,簡單的歌詞,在復(fù)雜的氛圍下女主唱的演唱格外特別.在極端的音樂背后,3個人在生活中卻都是簡單的普通人,音樂,蘋果汁和他們那臺老式福特柴油面包車都已經(jīng)成為生活中不可缺少的一部分!非常優(yōu)秀的專輯,強(qiáng)烈推薦!
Playing dark, moody pop music that suggests My Bloody Valentine gone garage rock, Gliss learned the hard way that less is more when the first lineup of the group split up. Los Angeles natives Martin Klingman and David Reiss, who traded off on bass and guitar, were disappointed when the other two members of Gliss walked out on them in 2003 after several years of uphill struggle, and they set out to replace them and resume work as a quartet. However, after meeting Victoria Cecilia, an expatriate of Denmark who could play drums, guitar, bass, and keys with equal skill, Klingman and Reiss started rethinking the group's formula, and soon they were playing out as a three-piece in 2004. The new strategy agreed with Gliss, and soon the group was winning new fans both at home and abroad; they found themselves sharing bills with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, We Are Scientists, Silversun Pickups, and Youth Group, and a visit to the U.K. led to them recording a single for the Mountain Low-Fi label in the summer of 2005. Gliss recorded a cover of Smashing Pumpkins' "Rhinoceros" for a tribute compilation coordinated by MySpace, and discovered the admiration was mutual when Billy Corgan invited the group to open for him on a European tour to promote his first solo album in 2005 (they later opened some dates on Smashing Pumpkins' 2007 reunion tour). Tough Cookie, a British label specializing in digital-only releases, partnered with the band for a series of singles in 2005 and released their first full-length album, Love the Virgins, the following year, as well as an EP, Kissing the Boulevard; in the United States, Gliss signed with Cordless Recordings, a digital label operated under the Warner Bros. banner.
