Glyders: “Smooth Walker”

There’s a certain Chicago rock sound that threatens artcore, but is just a little too stripped down and restrained for the name. Glyders walk that line. Our highlighted track “Smooth Walker” half feels like a put-on, like a Personal & the Pizzas number. But the other half is all earnest throwback vintage rock. When the “landing UFO” solo breaks out two-thirds through the song, you know the band is ready to tread into some strange territory. Just as soon as they let their hair down.

Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
