BAR OPENS AT 5PM GLIDE AND SWERVE S cloud-gazing electronica is the perfect companion to 2009 s summer adventures. Mining a similar path to Lemon Jelly, Ultramarine, and Zero 7, the duo s debut album, Bring Back Love, is a beautifully crafted long-player brimming with horizontal beats, pastoral melodies, and Balearic goodness. Glide & Swerve, began life in Hong Kong as a production outfit and promoters of the island s most infamous parties. In addition to the DJs they d fly in, Glide & Swerve would perform live alongside several vocalists, occasional dance troops, musicians, and a video artist who would create live backdrops on a 40 foot canvas behind the band. If electro pop is the current sound of Saturday night Britain, then Bring Back Love is the soundtrack to a Sunday afternoon spent in recovery. Forthcoming single, And I Smile, is one of the album s vocal tracks, and is currently being played by specialist radio shows including that of French whiz, Laurent Garnier.
THE STANDARDS have an admitted love for the classic pop song which is evident from their high energy power-pop. What I like about them is they take their influences and turn them into something modern sounding. Three self-produced songs isn t much to base an opinion on, but from what I can tell, the future is looking pretty bright for these lads. Losing Today magazine
