God Is In The TV – featuring Glow…

There’s is an excellent review of Glow at godisinthetvzine.co.uk! Check it out:

Hailing from Bristol via Liverpool and Newport come heart stopping three piece Glow. Inventively splicing together comedown break beats akin to Fourtet dabbling with Aphex Twin – all delicious aching brass, glistening guitar lines that hark back to the work of Ride and hypnotic vocals that sigh and ache and reach, giving warmth to these electronic manoeuvres. Their dynamic structures even bring to mind the work of “Kid A” Radiohead without the all pervading sense of gloom. Instead, they create a hypnotic, heart melting sound that’s simultaneously life affirming and post apocalyptic, the glow on your child’s face after a screaming fit. It should be heard by many more ears than it currently is. Their debut album “I, Yeah” is out now digitally for the bargain price of five English pounds. As for the album supposedly being dead, each song burrows its way into the next with the awe inspiring power and warmth of Spiritualized at their best. The afterglow of creation never sounded so heartening.

Exclusive play of entire album on Radio Wales

Last night Adam Walton did something marvellous. He played the ENTIRE 53 minutes of ‘I, Yeah!’ on his radio show.

If you haven’t bought the album yet or just want to hear the album in full with a Glow-ing review (sorry, bad pun), you can, using the BBC’s listen again service:

LISTEN AGAIN HERE

It will be available for the rest of the week, after which it will be lost into the void…

If you haven’t bought the album yet, why not?! It’s only a fiver!! :-)

Excellent album review

Adam Walton has posted a really lovely blog post about our album, which you can read here.

Massive thanks go out to Adam, who has been extraordinarily supportive of Glow since we formed back in 2005. He’s helped get our music out to many new people and introduced us to lots of other new music at the same time.

Listen to previews of ‘I, Yeah!’

Our new album is out in under a week!

To celebrate, we’ve created an album minisite at iyeah.co.uk.

From there you can listen to previews of the new tracks. It’s also the place to go to buy the album come April 1st. 

Riverside Tavern gig CANCELLED

For reasons beyond our control, the Riverside Tavern gig in Newport next week has been cancelled.

Apologies to those of you who were coming along. We recommend you make the trip over the bridge to our April 1st ‘I, Yeah!’ album launch gig instead, where we have a cracking line-up and will be giving away downloads of the album.

We hope to reorganise the Newport gig with Deano, the promoter, once he has sorted out a new venue for his nights…

Music downloads – were broken, now fixed again

We had a problem with our music downloads for the last few days. Some of you may not have been able to physically download the tracks from our site, even though they were there and should’ve worked ok.

The offending code has now been found and corrected…

If you experience any problems using the site, please contact our webmaster – webmaster at fablesofglow dot com.

Album news and upcoming gigs…

We are pleased to announce that, after a year of hard work, our album is ready for you!

You will be able to download it from our website on 1st April. 

It will be available as a set of high quality MP3 files, with a full colour booklet of lyrics and artwork, and the package will be just £5.

(And no, this is not an April Fool!  We really have finished it!)

To celebrate this momentous event in the history of mankind, we will be doing a gig that very night at the Louisiana, in Bristol. We’ve hooked up with the excellent Nova Robotics and the fabulous Yes & No, to put on a show of the best music around.  These guys are really special, so it promises to be a first class, première league event.  Bring as many people as you can possibly think of to this.  It’s gonna be a knockout! 

Also, this coming Sunday 16th, we’ll be doing a super-rare acoustic show at the Thekla Social, also in Bristol.  It’s part of the Under The Influence series, where bands get to spin some of the discs that they love.  We’ll be following this up with a set of unplugged reworkings of some of our songs.  As we are the least unplugged band we know, this ought to be a laugh, so don’t miss it!  Free entry.

If you can’t make it to the Bristol shows, please come along to the Riverside Tavern in Newport on 26th March, where we’ll be playing with the wonderful Thinking With Sand, and Project Serpo, who we love.

Right, see you on Sunday, and mark 1st April in your diary now!

If you missed the show, you can listen again via the BBC iPlayer, which is available to anyone with a computer and internet access (much like us) for the next 7 days.

Tom very kindly took some photos of us playing and I’ve uploaded some of the best for your amusement:
