Bleak, remarkably faithful minimal synth from Minneapolis by three-piece
Claps on their latest tape
Glory, Glory, striking despite that ongoing early 80s revivalism we've all been observing for the last few years. You usually can tell whether a song was recorded in 1983 or 2011, but in this case I wouldn't have been surprised at all to find "Shelter" on the latest
Minimal Wave compilation, a resemblance that was achieved by the outfit's approach of employing solely analog gear and recording live in the studio. What's more, we got to say that's a really fine melody you got there.
Glory, Glory is out now on cassette via
Moon Glyph.
