both of those tracks are pretty solid, not breaking any new ground but i'm not sure i want that anyway

Chromatics playing for a fashion show and a video with a bunch of models seems really appropriate. Really like the Desire track.

I'm grossed out that they would want to have anything to do with Karl Lagerfeld, but that's a nice track.

This might spoil it for everybody, but the intro for "Warm in the Winter" is just a synthpop homage to "Where the Streets Have No Name".

Cherry is such a great pop song, in a just world it'd be a massive hit

Got the promo in my inbox today, about to give it a spin. Praying for something as perfectly sad as 'Lady Operator' was on the first one.

What are Glass Candy and Chromatics like live?
― MikoMcha, Saturday, 25 May 2013 06:57 (eleven years ago) link
Glass Candy are a little more of a fun time party band live than Chromatics, who are a little more too cool for school chill. Glass Candy are keyboard and vocals and a lot of dancing, onsesys and c'mon's and Chromatics are more I'm smoking cigarettes and playing guitar and you can't fuck with this.
That said, they're all ridiculously approachable. Now that they are bigger this may have changed, but last time I saw Glass Candy, afterwards Johnny and Mike Simonetti sat on the stage afterward selling merch and chatting with all comers and last time I saw Chromatics, it was rained out and they traded cigarettes and jokes with the crowd, Johnny quipped that he was afraid of being 'electro-cuted'.
― Popture, Saturday, 25 May 2013 09:32 (eleven years ago) link
Music is always on point too. I suppose if you've had a song demo'd since 2005 and only released it last year, you've probably thought about it a bit. But, I don't know. Like, you know how nobody buys music anymore and bands relentless tour and have polished this completely fine but somewhat sterile 45 minute set that they know works and play over and over again? Whereas it used to be a little less important to be on message every night when nobody used to go to live shows and bands live used to be a little looser and they'd play a cover if they felt like it, or something they were working on? Chromatics and Glass Candy feel a little more like that.
― Popture, Saturday, 25 May 2013 09:38 (eleven years ago) link
OK, great. I got my tickets for the show in a couple of weeks.
Am definitely interested in how they work the crowd and perform, IDIB style is so sedate and a bit calculated.
― MikoMcha, Saturday, 25 May 2013 10:03 (eleven years ago) link
'Cherry' is so gorgeous, not sure if that awooeeooawooaee bit is ripping something off or if it's just an instant classic hook.
― ohmigud (Merdeyeux), Saturday, 25 May 2013 21:55 (eleven years ago) link
And then that swirling synth/drum fill bit right at the end of it just seals the deal
― Doctor Madame Frances Experimento, LLC", Sunday, 26 May 2013 00:35 (eleven years ago) link
"Cherry" in parts reminds me of ... a couple've tracks off the Magnetic Fields' The Wayward Bus? "Candy" & something else.
― etc, Monday, 27 May 2013 11:47 (eleven years ago) link
it's definitely ripping off something. Can't put my finger on it though
― Number None, Monday, 27 May 2013 11:51 (eleven years ago) link
ya when I try to pinpoint it I keep getting stuck on a bit of

which is close but not quite right.
― ohmigud (Merdeyeux), Monday, 27 May 2013 13:45 (eleven years ago) link
yeah Glass Candy is not like that at all live. when I saw them they played all their party / dance tracks and closed with Iko Iko and Mind Playing Tricks On Me.
― dmr, Tuesday, 28 May 2013 20:37 (eleven years ago) link
Last time I saw them (I might even have said this in this thread a couple of years ago), Glass Candy live was like an aerobics class.The show ended with half the club onstage.
― Walter Galt, Wednesday, 29 May 2013 09:04 (ten years ago) link
Hmm. There's another Glass Candy thread somewhere that goes into greater detail. Lex complains about them live because he didn't like the singer's sweater-dress or something.
― Walter Galt, Wednesday, 29 May 2013 09:05 (ten years ago) link
