For their first studio album, Winter Gloves have made quite a statement about their musical style. The group originated from a solo project by-now lead singer Charles F. in Montreal. Since then the group has grown to include three new members. About a Girl sounds like it’s stepped into the Canadian music waters with both [...]Related posts:Girl Talk - Feed The Animals Review With the Radiohead-.
Reversing the David Hasselhoff paradigm of last generation's rock stars, that of rapid success in the states followed by equally rapid cooption in other countries like Germany and Japan, Winter Gloves have quickly accumulated critical and popular support across Canada's adjacent indie-rock scene before now turning to the lower half of North America.

As I was driving from Southie back to Brighton last night, the always-dependable big-ass outdoor bank clock/thermometer/distraction graced me with an abysmal nightime reading of 28°F. Where the F did the summer go? I swear last time I checked I was lying on a beach in Santa Monica soaking up 90° rays of white bliss. The kind of sun that would boil a redhead in five-flat.

I actually checked out Winter Gloves in 2008 when they covered LCD Soundsystem, but didn't find myself enough in love to post on it. However, when I gave their album About a Girl a spin, I dug this first track. MP3: Winter Gloves - Factories There's a kind of texture to the keys line in "Factories" [...]
