Glass Gang is an experimental electronic group from New York, USA. This track was self-released by the band as a single in 2013. The track takes a simple pattern of electronic beats and buries them in heavy downpours of feedback which recall My Bloody Valentine's wall of sound approach to guitar backdrops. The soft, fluttering vocals and tinkling piano chords glide above the storm of feedback making the overall feeling one of weightlessness, like floating in space or perhaps in the ocean depths. This was one of my favourite tracks of 2013 to sit and bliss out to through headphones, and I hope Glass Gang will live up to the huge promise which this track represents. Taking My Bloody Valentine-style feedback effects and adding electro beats while crafting a pop song out of the result was never going to be an easy thing to pull off, but Glass Gang accomplish it with a track which sounds unlike anything else out there at the moment.
