Glass Trees - Glass Trees (CD, Maggadee, Pop/rock)
You’d think, considering the fact that this is yet another guitar band, that this CD would sound exactly like millions of others. But instead, the folks in the creatively-titled Glass Trees distance themselves from the multitude of twenty-first century bands by simply playing from their hearts and souls. Although we’re not sure if these were influences or not, on occasion different tracks on this self-titled album sound like a variety of bands including (but not limited to) The Velvet Underground, The Feelies, and Teenage Fanclub. The band members made the wise decision to keep their music simple and straightforward...without getting carried away with layers upon layers of overdubs. Many of the tracks have a nice, laidback rocking sound that is decidedly out-of-synch with the majority of today’s superficial bands. The guitars sound groovy indeed...as do the subtle, relaxed vocals. By not trying too hard...these folks have managed to come up with thirteen tracks that are instantly effective and ultimately very cool. Top picks: "Kissin Girls," "Why Not?", "Claire and Jim," "Kevins Dream." (Rating: 5 out of 6)
