Glowing Mouth
Album · Alternative · 2011
“All the leaves are glowing green as the seasons rage”, wails Kyle Wilson against a flickering, synth-driven backdrop on “Here to Stay”. That’s the impressionistic haze within Glowing Mouth, a dream-pop vision that became Wilson’s catharsis on the sophomore LP he penned mostly while bedridden from a broken back. The Brooklyn quintet are restless alchemists in their electro indie-rock concoctions: The noisy, strangely mellifluous “To Be Imagined” pairs crackling audio with ostinato ukulele, and atmospheric distortions seep through the title track beneath gliding falsettos.
