Oh, ! I’m happy to have paid attention to this band. They’ve been gaining some press recently because
they’ve put out a killer album Monster Head Room.
It’s so fantastic when music makes you feel this
wonderful thing that’s nearly unexplainable. It’s like when you meet someone and you instantly click, when you are just so excited to tell them everything, and your words and thoughts begin to overlap, and you start to cut each other off- not in a snotty way, but in an excited “Oh my god! Me too! I have to tell you this!” sort of way- and it goes back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and before you know it, you’ve been talking for hours and all your other friends have left you behind, but it doesn’t matter because you are so happy and satisfied in that moment.
Listening to Ganglians is like that. And I’ve only just begun to devour the record.
Ok, here’s the lowdown: they’re signed to Weird Forest Records. They are based out of Sacramento. They played at SXSW this year. Stereogum has done stories (plural) about them. So has Vice Magazine and last.fm. I think “Valient Brave” is a great song, as is “Never Mine.” Listen on their myspace. Buy their record.
