BeatCrave Fav: Glass Candy
By Lindsey Darden
Glass Candy is one of those bands where part of their appeal is that their work is difficult to find in hard copy form (thank goodness we live in the electronic age; search under Glass Candy, or Glass Candy & the Shattered Theatre and you’re bound to get somewhere). Based on their aesthetically-pleasing photos, graphic effects, and overall sound quality I’d love to know what alternative universe they’ve stepped into and where I can find the portal. One part Blondie and two-parts mellow club mix, the Portland, OR duo is far from a dime a dozen but are on enough of a comfort level and cool factor that they can be effortlessly allowed into one’s playlist/vinyl library with the slightest of hesitation, if any at all.
