CD Reviews

A step up from their first
The Harem Guard | The OC, CA | 01/03/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"An overall improvement from the first GLS long player. Gotta say I like it more than something like Iron & Wine. To take nothing away from Iron & Wine, the GLS sound is just a bit more consistent and pleasing to the ear. Why should you buy it? Because after a long day at work, this is excellent dinner-cooking and dinner-eating music for people who don't want to listen to Miles Davis. Also, the babes will think you're cool."
Epically Modest

Bodies and Minds is like a long walk through a foggy, wet valley.

It's beautiful, refreshing, seemingly endless... and at certain times, flat. If you choose to purchase the album, which I highly recommend, don't expect much in the way of diversity.

It is, at times, painstakingly simple.

What you have to keep in mind is: simplicity can be beautiful.



The high points for me on this album are the moments filled with reverberating, modest vocals. However, if you don't have a taste for simple, emotive, vocals / guitar / folk /indie music- then I would suggest proceeding with caution. If you're interested in bands like Bright Eyes, Calexico, and Jose Gonzalez- then I would definitely recommend Bodies and Minds.



It's a beautiful glimpse into what GLS is capable of. I can't wait to see how their songwriting continues to develop.



Best moments: I Could Be Nothing, Song for the Angels

Loving this so far

"Beautiful, dreamy music - ideal for headphones during insomnia. This guys voice is really something too. What is with these Canadians - seems like all the great indie music is coming from up north!"
