GLÖS - PUBLIC SPEAKER


ARTIST / BAND: GLÖS
SONG (MP3): PUBLIC SPEAKER
ALBUM: Harmonium
FILE UNDER: Indie / Ambient / Rock
LABEL: lovitt records

INFO: It all started as a few musical file transfers from laptop to laptop in a van while touring Europe as the band Engine Down, and ended as a full-blown album of musical compositions by means of the internet from opposite corners of America. Glös started as Keeley Davis (former frontman of Engine Down and bass/synth player for Denali) and Cornbread Compton (former drummer of Engine Down, Biology, and currently Heavens). Many years of playing in Engine Down together proved the duo had a naturally unique style of meshing melody and rhythm. When the discovery of song creation on computers became a reality, the two found strength and freedom in writing separately and then collaborating. Adding to each other's songs as if they were created mutually in the same room was natural and noticeable.

THE MARY TIMONY BAND - KILLED BY THE TELEPHONE


ARTIST / BAND: THE MARY TIMONY BAND
SONG (MP3): KILLED BY THE TELEPHONE
ALBUM: The Shapes We Make
FILE UNDER: Indie / Rock / Other

LABEL: Kill Rock StarsINFO: Mary Timony’s latest solo project, The Golden Dove, lends a refreshing twist to traditional song structures, exploring sound and composition in her own inimitable style. Musically, Timony mixes up 60s psych folk, experimental electro grooves and lengthy prog-rock guitar jams. What results is music of melancholy beauty, sweetness tinged with darkness, conjuring images of middle earth, fairies, goblins and ghosts that lurk in every corner. Sparklehorse’s lauded frontman, Mark Linkous, contributes both on the production credits and as a guest musician. However, most of the music is performed by Mary herself, a virtuoso guitarist and self-styled icon.

The problem he kept running into with his high school bands was keeping a drummer. It didn't help that his mother didn't want him to ever play the drums due to all the noise it would make in the house. He was on Lake Braddock's Math Team and claimed to be "pathetically happy" upon defeating the math team of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology one year.[1]

INFO: Bodies of Water started in David and Meredith’s closet. They were newly married and lived in a very small house. The closet was the only place to put the computer that they used to record songs. They were content doing this for a while but eventually decided to send these songs out into the world. The first step was to form a musical group. Meredith had never played a piano before but she was willing to give it a shot. She had known Kyle for a decade or so and he decided to try playing the bass. Jessie was a new friend from Arizona who was making a big splash in LA. They all thought that since she was a gifted dancer she would make a good drummer, and so Jessie learned to drum.
