The Glass Intact

Mud

The debut was quite good, and this is head and shoulders above that. Blissful indie rock/pop/emo songs about love, experiences both sweet and sour. Some of it borders on pop-punk, but there’s a maturity in their style that extends well past that genre. Great songs that are immediately catchy, yet grow on you, as well as different layers are discovered. Melodies that are most often sweet and wonderful, well-planned vocal melodies/harmonies from Elizabeth. People who like Discount and Pohgoh but don’t want to hear the same thing should check this out.
