Death DisK-(o),
By "bothendsburning" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Love Love (Audio CD)
Love Love Love is addictive and proves Glass Candys potential. The album reminds me of the Siouxsie and the Banshees Scream album. Abstract unknown meanings almost stream of conscious lyrics along with steady driving beat melodic atmospheres. I think I heard some Joy Division in the drums at one point. They have a great sense of style but you cant mitigate this band to being just fashionable, they have a very real presence. Everybody always says Ida No is so good looking, but Im sure she would say so ... what, the band is definitely more than looks. The music sends you out in space, its a driving trance. The open guitar plucking in the first song is so simple its genius, open space and ambiguous areas, very raw. you can see the influences, but Its very honest to me, not a copy. Glass Candy is has everything I love about surrealist films: sex, dream like imagery, violence, and subconscious delusions, . Death Disco is an appropriate name and its a bright splinter in the music shake-up these days.

This is a cool band,
By alexander laurence (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Love Love (Audio CD)
Maybe there can be a band who appeals to rockers and art students? Some people haven't given up on hair metal either. Since Glass Candy have loss their drummer, now they seem like an Apollonian version of The Kills. Maybe the heroin use does help in this case. When you first listen to this record, you are surprised and shocked by each song. "Crystal Migraine" sounds like one of the best songs ever. You are surprised that they would cover a song by The Screamers. At the same time it's like these guys grew up with Poison. As a live group, they are static. There's no interaction. They move more on the album cover than they do in person. They are supposed to be a glam band, but it's just that lead singer, Ida No, has a lot of clothes. I wouldn't call Moloko a glam band because the lead singer wears a lot of costumes. The musical member, Johnny Jewel, does a good impression of Keith Richards. With all that against then, and the band always being in a flux, Glass Candy seem really good. (www.freewilliamsburg.com)

Glam induced disco punk,

This review is from: Love Love Love (Audio CD)
Ida No is sexy. That isn't the only thing Glass Candy have going for them but it is what the band is centered around. She has a sexy shrill voice and a glam rock/ new wave style that will get her compared to Debbie Harry from BLONDIE. She writes interesting lyrics and has a band featuring two other members guitarist Johnny Jewel and drummer Ginger Peach. Together they play "death disco" a phrase coined by the band themselves. I am sure everyone will notice the heavy BOWIE influence. That is a really easy comparison.This is a must for fans of the rapture and bands of that dance punk genre. So far they are impressive enough to get in Jane magazine. the title track is my favorite so far. great design too.
