NEW MUSiC: Andrew Watt and The Glory Glory

Have you noticed that lately, there’s been some heavy shite going down at QBiM HQ?  I blame it on the cold, dark and haunting winter days for my serious and louder than usual sonic moods.  But man, with the sun coming out these last few days, it feels like Spring is just around the corner, and the mood in my in-box is certainly lightening, too.  Andrew Watt and The Glory Glory are bringing the fun with “One Day at a Time” from the LP First Day of Summer Life.  Watt is the front man for Halifax’s outstanding Heavy Blinkers who decided that he’d recruit a bunch of complete strangers to help him record his debut solo record.  He turned to the guys in Halifax’s Glory Glory Man United and brought them into the studio to rehearse the material for the disc, not knowing exactly what he’d be in for.

The result is a big sound reminiscent of Brian Wilson arrangements, with a whole lot in the mix.  You can call it orchestral if you want, but to me it’s more a straight-ahead classic pop sound that’s optimistic and heartfelt without being sappy and self-indulgent.  The album is out March 16, but you can hear it all right now at the band’s Myspace site.

Is there a place somewhere online where I can purchase the CD (I refuse to buy MP3′s of Artists and albums I like) of this album?

Thanks,

Jeremy

I think your best bet would be to contact the folks at Pigeon Row (http://pigeonrow.com) and ask them about it. Hope this helps, Jeremy.
