| Glassmaps - Summer Rain |
Release Date: Out Now
Well this is a bluesy swamp stomp
and no mistake, you up for that? Good. Howling Bells guitarist Joel Stein has
broken off on his own for a bit to explore new territories and avenues and
Glassmaps is the results of that wanderlust. ‘Summer Rain’ is the first harvest
of fruit from that labour and it’s a gloriously shambolic in its bluesy,
stumbling stomp. The drums awkwardly lope like an afternoon drinker trying to
make his way home along country lines while the guitars keep a Hozier-esque
vibe going as though the throb of a heartbeat is coursing round your head.
Stein’s vocals is smooth and woozy if it weren’t for the swamp rock attitude of
this song it could be a contemporary of the Kinks or the Faces which is no bad
thing. Side projects or solo efforts can go one or another but, like that
wobbly drunk at a fork in a road; Glassmaps chose the right path and brought
this on home for a snooze in the garden.
