From the ashes of Wide Eyed, two of its cohorts find
themselves busy with a new outfit, Gleam, with Isn’t Real their debut offering.
Dreamy vocals pierce a constant waterfall of tastefully
distorted guitar. A concern arises: as all music is doomed to lose a certain polish
and, er, gleam when performed live, the gleamier the gleam, the rougher the
track will sound when unleashed in a live setting?
As lush as the vocals are, it’ll be interesting to hear how
the Birmingham four-piece present the song in a live setting (supporting The
Sundowners at The Sunflower Lounge, Sunday February 15th). A focus
on creating a soundscape for the listener to get lost in surrenders some catchiness,
but it is all the better for it, and a treat.
