The music of Soft Glas — a.k.a. producer and songwriter Joao Gonzalez — evokes dreamy and funky vibes that both excite and chill the nerves. It’s music that works well in a full length format, and Joao seems aware of it, since Orange Earth, released in September, is the project’s third LP. Live, the musician plays/samples/loops a series of instruments on top of electronic tracks, and does it in an entertaining fashion – so much so that Soft Glas has was recently asked to tour in support of Oklahoma-based group Sports, playing shows in Los Angeles and Baltimore. He’ll return to NYC on December 13th at Mercury Lounge, and then on the 14th, in Brooklyn at Baby’s All Right. Catch either show if you can; otherwise, stream Soft Glas’s latest single "Perks of Being a Sunflower" below. Close your eyes, and daydream. – Will Sisskind
