6.75 out of 10Gliss have been playing their variety of hypnotic Indie-Rock for over 5 years now. They have been compared to My Bloody Valentine, Silversun Pickups, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Muse, etc. They were invited personally by Billy Corgan to join the Smashing Pumpkins on a European tour. Gliss have also gone through some band break ups too. They've lost and gained members, yet their sound seems to grow stronger with every release.
On "Devotion Implosion" Gliss dive deeper into the pool of love and sorrow. With catchy/fuzzy bass lines, strong guitar riffs, distortion pedals used in all of the right spots, melodic vocals, tight drumming, and what seems like an invisible wall of sugar coated noise. When I'm listening to this album I'm almost reminded of Broken Social Scene with a stronger focus on "dynamic guitar rock". Gliss are sort of an Alternative band with "Stoner Rock" influences. Gliss are that catchy garage pop-rock band you have been looking for.
Some of the songs can have sluggish beginnings, but the further you get into the track the more and more it grows on you. The middle of the album is kind of "blah", but not bad, just kind of drags. But the last track, "Sister Sister", wraps it up nicely. Either way it's pretty fair to say if you like Alt-Rock you will like Gliss. My favorite track would have to be it's opener "Morning Light", if you're not hooked from the beginning I don't know what to tell ya.
Standout Tracks: Morning Light, 29 Acts Of Love, Beauty, Anybody Inside, Sister Sister
