Ooooh They're Floaty Light

Golau Glau
Genre: Indie / Electronica / Folk
From: Leeds, England/ Criccieth, Wales, United Kingdom

"Golau" means "light", "Glau" means "quickly". Two of the bands favourite words which go together well , and sum their sound up. Particularly the light.

It's uplifting, light and airy, melodic pop music. Minimalistic Celtic folk updated for a new generation. If I didn't know better I'd have said that Alison Statton was involved.

But don't let the delicate, graceful sound lull you into thinking that the band lack substance. With subjects including the British nuclear tests at Malden and Christmas Islands in the late 1950s ('Operation Grapple') and the suicide of a family at Beachy Head earlier this month ('Soft Silver Young') Golau Glau push you into places where you experience your own raw reactions rather than be manipulated by what you think you are supposed to feel or hear.

This is about as far away from the run of the mill boy meets girl girl rejects boy bilge that masquerades as popular music in the 21st century and is all the better for it.
