"Love Love Love" LP/CD
After four seven inches, a one-sided live LP, a slew of demo CDRs, and a revolving cast of drummers......GLASS CANDY has finally released its first official full length LP. Their debut album, "Love Love Love", will be available on Troubleman Unlimited Records as of February 2003.
In the last four years, the group has toured the west coast numerous times, and managed to make it to the east coast twice. Steadily gathering momentum. It seems with each tour, a new line-up, and with each line-up, new material, and new material brings revision of the older material...They often rework their songs live on stage leaving the audience divided. Some seduced by the more chaotic elements of the performance, while others left disgusted by the seemingly inept ability of the group to function as a whole.
There is definitely no middle ground with GLASS CANDY. Within the confines of the studio, however, it is clear that the group's focus remains sharply on the voice, and the lyrics of Ida No. From the opening of "Crystal Migraine", to the last sentence in "Empty V", she expresses herself through a wide spectrum of raw emotion and communication. Effectively refusing to be pigeonholed. She simultaneously hovers above the dark disco beat of "Brittle Women", while crashing into mangled metal music in songs like "Love On A Plate", and "Love Love Love". The entire album is just over 25 minutes long.
With four songs on each side; including their revised version of the SCREAMERS classic: "I Wanna Hurt", and a loose interpretation of THE ROLLING STONES' "Last Time". Throughout the LP, the instrumentation ranges from synthesized growls to lacerated guitar. GLASS CANDY manages to retain an extremely minimal edge rhythmically. There is not a single drum fill on the entire album!
