WL//WH Track Of The Day GLASOS
Glasos is the up-and-coming project of 16-year-old Barcelona denizen Emma Pavía Tropenscovino, who manages to craft a guitar-driven Indie Rock style with a distinctive penchant for the 90s, keeping it crisp and fresh to avoid any tiresome retro stereotype.
The young composer and guitarist has just dropped her self-titled debut EP via the independent local label Estudio Mazmorra.
The first single, “Stars Are Falling,” released around a month ago, talks about fear, confusion, patience, and regret. An electrifying combination of angularity and tunefulness, fueled by a propulsive drumming along with a gritty, throbbing bassline, laced with sparkling guitar chords and crunchy, buzzing riffs, discordant and brazen in its own grating progression over loud, aloof female vocals, anxiously longing, while the “Stars Are Falling.”
Check out the paired video by laiagris where Emma Pavía Tropenscovino sings the song on a living room couch with intimate friends Alex Berdullas and Blanca Miyar. Episodes of fast-moving leisure activities blurrily speed around the solo artist to bring forth a dizzying sense of both disconnection and awareness, syncing seamlessly with the moody uncertainty expressed in the soundtrack.
Ultimately, 3 fuzzy and grungy songs, the latest, “Sin Mí”, in the Castellan language, that bounce, amid The Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies, and Breeders flickers, on urgent, punchy rhythms replete with a skittery and pummeling thick, saturated distortion-laden infectiousness and a strong bent for straightforward, catchy ‘power pop’ melodies, that are definitely worth multiple listens.
