Nice review!:

Bristol-based trio Glow met while studying music at uni. You might expect, then, an album of virtuosic knob-twiddling and lab-tested musical perfection: and, though that does fuel this extraordinary debut, it runs more on a sheer fascination with music and all its strange, atmospheric possibilities. Thickly layered beats and samples, melancholy, sighing glides of brass, twitches and swerves from sequencers and keyboards: textbook electronica thus far. What’s far less expected is their pairing with Ben Johnson’s downbeat, almost nakedly honest vocals. There are echoes of Radiohead’s nervy electronica or Spiritualized’s celestial comedown drone, but there’s more warmth, emotion and vulnerability than either. Highlights: ’Open Your Heart’, a duetted autopsy of a relationship; ‘Tape Riser’, a twitching, bewitching beast, feverishly kinetic like The The’s epic synth/drum thumpalongs. And ‘Mathematikoi’ simply entrances: synth and trumpet that sound like a new planet being discovered.

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.

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.
