Artist: Glass Candy

Glass Candy , al igual que todo el personal de Italians Do It Better , se han venido caracterizando por sus excelentes melodias bajo la influencia de una estetica muy elegante con la que se dan a la tarea de crear un synth pop bastante esquisito con el que nos remiten a eras en la que la musica disco estaba en su momento de gloria pero claro, cada uno de estos proyectos a optado por sembrar su propio estilo dentro de toda la gama de colores que rodea la sensualidad y el porte de sus composiciones. Bueno, este año [...]

• Glass Candy - Life After Sundown

As we mentioned yesterday , GvsB II goes down Saturday, July 28 , at the esteemed Granada Theater here in Dallas.

Here's a mixtape we put together that barely scratches the surface of the bill's collective greatness, but it should help [...]

"Lovewave" band, Magic Wands, give us visuals off their soon to be released debut, Aloha Moon. Let's trip out together in space, sweetheart.

Uno de nuestros artistas favoritos de estos últimos tiempos es el nórdico de Richard Rossa (anteriormente Testa Rossa), que ya nos tiene acostumbrados a grandes temas propios, muy buenos mixtapes y y maravillosos edits y re-edits, como este que recientemente realizaba sobre un antiguo tema de Glass Candy , del 2004, tema original realizado como Glass Candy And The Shattered Theatre, y que ahora el fantástico Richard Rossa le da una nueva textura y con un resultado muy muy bueno, y además, como es habitual en Richard de descarga [...]

Can you believe Noise Pop has been going on for 20 years? Neither can anybody in San Francisco. According to the festival's program, the whole thing started out as a "random one-off show put together for an open night in the slow touring month of January 1993." Years later, the festival has evolved into a citywide event that's now a Bay Area tradition. It nurtures the area's creative spirit, and what better locale than San Francisco, a city that has always encouraged people to do their own thing and be themselves. Noise Pop champions those ideals and keeps it interesting. [...]

• Chromatics - INTO THE BLACK _

Johnny Jewel es uno de los tipos mas ocupados de este 2012 y eso, que esto apenas comienza y es que como recordaran: en las primeras semanas de este año solto un pequeño y excelente soundtrack bajo el pseudonimo de Symmetry y solamente tuvieron que pasar un par de semanas mas para estarnos encontrando con el nuevo album de Chromatics pero, esto no es ni la mitad de lo que tiene planeado para este año ya que parece que mas adelante estara editando un nuevo album como Symmetry asi como lo nuevo de [...]

Until last month, trying to justify to people that I'm a fan of both Santigold and M.I.A. has made me feel like a pre-Anne Sullivan Helen Keller (i.e. probably not that great of taste in music and unable to articulate myself anyway). Just pick one big, young, multicultural, female act, Emma! You don't need both! But since Santigold put out " Big Mouth ," her first single in what feels like forever off her new album, Master Of My Make-Believe (due to arrive May 1st via Downtown/Atlantic Records and said [...]

Fantastiska freestyle-pop-duon Glass Candy s låt Life after sundown har dammats av och redigerats av den disco-älskande Stockholmaren Ricard Rossa , och eftersom även jag gillar disco kommer resultatet här.

This edition will bring you a nice little variety. I have an older track from Glass Candy that I'll use to highlight one the best movies I have seen in a while. I have a track from Superhumanoids that is short and sweet. An old-school feeling trance track from Acid Washed that is new, I promise. Loose Fit busts out some funky bassline action for a genre I like to call "theme music". I'll fuinish up with a stellar track from Dana Buoy you can download. Dana Buoy is in Akron/Family, this isn't an Akron/Family [...]

• Dana Buoy - Call To Be

Download link is in the original post Song: Neil Young - Hey Hey, My My (Chromatics Cover) [download here ] What's so good? Occasionally there comes along a song with a guitar lick so simple and catchy that it renders your eardrums completely occupied. [...]

Photos by G. Ida No and Johnny Jewel of Glass Candy It's stories like the one I am about to share that restore my faith in humanity! On February 10, 2012, Portland's Italo disco-duo Glass Candy performed a very exclusive show at the Tribeca Grand Hotel in New York to kick off Fashion Week. When the evening began, I had no idea what I was in for. A couple of my friends, whose advice I listen to, are really big fans of Glass Candy, so I assumed with that [...]

Italians Do It Better co-honcho Johnny Jewel hit a pop cultural sweet spot last year, making in-roads with the Gossling demo by landing one of his Chromatics tracks on the much-loved Drive OST. His stardusted and narcotic Italo production style seemed to influence a lot of that soundtrack; in fact, the lesser known and more recent Jewel vehicle, Desire, had a song on in it as well ("Under Your Spell"). Desire is Jewell with fellow Chromatic Nat Walker and vocalist Megan Louise, and here they are with the video for the glam electro-strut cut "Don't Call." It's [...]

Tweet Symmetr y is the pseudonym of Johnny Jewel (as if "Johnny Jewel" wasn't good enough), who is the brains behind Glass Candy , Chromatics , and is responsible for the whole of the Italians Do It Better vision. In 2007 Jewel became something of an icon to me. 2007 saw the release of "B/E/A/T/B/O/X/" by Glass Candy and "Night Drive" by Chromatics , two impeccable disco albums [...]
