Glasvegas is Bringing Black Back

What is a Geraldine? Is it a beverage? Is it a type of a car? A hand-sized mammel that lives in the Scottish Highlands?

While we’re at it, what’s a Glasvegas? For some reason, whenever I hear the name of this band, I think of Dirty Vegas, then I think of that song that was in the Mitsubishi commercial, then made fun of in the first skit in the first episode of Chapelle Show.

Regardless, Glasvegas puts a glorious spin on gritty post punk that makes it relaxing and smooth. I’ll describe it as gritty-smooth, which I realize is an oxymoron.

It was hard to pick my favorite song of this album, but Geraldine slightly surpasses their other jams as a single in my opinion.
