Anyway, I think 'ennui' might have been the wrong word WRT Glass Candy but there still seems to be a sort of... listlessness and inertia even when they're trying to be fun. Like there's a void somewhere in the middle where the kinetic bit should be. Maybe this is deliberate, I like BEATBOX quite a bit on record when I just let it wash over me but I'd never go and see them live for the above reason.

Seen them live twice. They were a great amount of fun. It was nice seeing an electronic act that was happy and able to interact with the crowd. They took requests the first time, the second time they stayed around for chats with everyone.

They're indie. They care more about themselves then what they're doing.

her beats are amazing (obvs) but her stage presence and screechy voice kinda bugged.

Please report back... so curious! Does she have something new out?
