Gleam - Fake
Gleam - Fake |
Release Date: Out Now
There is a dreamy, blissed-out
quality to Birmingham's Gleam that has me in raptures from the opening chords.
New single 'Fake' is chock full of pile-driver guitars covered in delay as well
as some glass chattering cymbal action but when the smooth vocals of Jake
Bellwood stitch it all together then you can't help but follow that talking
rabbit down the burrow. This takes me back to the vastly underrated Mainstream
and Redwood as well as some of the very early Feeder material but with those 70s psychedelic influences worn
proudly on the puffy sleeves of their voluminous shirts. This is expansive
British indie the likes of which isn't seen much these days what with the
obsession with clipped, neat indie-pop songs on the alternative scene. This is
far more akin to the Stone Roses or the Verve than Years & Years or Foals
which, as far as I'm concerned, is a welcome change from the status quo
(without sounding anything like the actual Status Quo).
