Another split from the good folks at Veritas Vinyl. Glower is space rock with a bit of a punk rock edge. If the 1990’s alternative scene had not died but kept growing, Glower is probably what that scene would currently be producing. “Spectra” is a catchy tune that is not wimpy or poppy at all. There is a definite complexity and metaphor to the music and lyrics that is missing from many bands today. To Leave a Trace is almost the polar opposite of Glower – a female fronted screamo-metal band from the Ukraine. Lots of intensity and grinding guitars on their song “Against The Flow.” This song is also catchy without getting lost in the noise that so many screamo bands seem to get themselves mired in. Not sure who thought to put both of these bands on a split, but I love the combo and find myself interested in full lengths from both bands. Pre-orders are still open for different colors of vinyl, with each order coming with an instant download of the music.
