ganglians - monster head room - woodsist - cd - 9$
"Glee. See that's a word I rarely party with in my codex but it's just the one that I would subscribe to Ganglians. Everytime I see these chaps play I come away with a big old grin on my world-weary face. How do they do it? Well it's the lightheartedness in their playing...the angelic Wilson-esque vocal harmonies...then from out of nowhere come those West African guitar stylings! And yet I can never pin down this band's sound... not that that's a bad thing. In fact it's always been a sure sign for me that the music's doing something right. From the lazy day musings of 'To June' to the monumental yarn 'Valient Brave.' Jam this on your next road trip or on your back porch drinking an Arnold Palmer. This is a record for summertime if ever there was one. It's pop music in the best sense of the word...paramount and perennial. .
The lp version of this album is available from Weird forest .
ganglians - s/t – woodsist – lp – 15$
Sacramento's Ganglians want an island somewhere where they can soak in the sun and prowl the canopy by night. It's not often that they do get out, but they can get down for that. Recording sometimes as one, sometimes as four it's a real game to figure out where the entity comes from and where it's going. First and foremost it's about uncertain pleasures. It's a bit like choose your own adventure. There's "codeine balladry"; a slightly upsetting tempo that is quickly flushed into an aural high, the next moment you're in the toy strewn abyss of the bedroom and then out to the tribal caves of the natives. The planets align and the sun beats down, palms tingling, and you are on the island they've built, the scenery constantly shifting for a better view, of you. 8 tracks in 24 min
