Just like their music, Glass Ghost always seem to be on the verge of percolating out to the mainstream. From a mountain of press commenting on their impressive debut ‘Idol Omen,’ to gracing the cover of the Deli, there’s no shortage of praise for the Brooklyn duo. Eliot Krimsky and Mike Johnson can’t seem to find an instrument that won’t make their music as lush and soulful as a spiritual, with the magic to cut like the diamond mentioned in their biggest song ‘Like a Diamond.’ And hey, if Sharon Van Etten is covering your songs … you really can’t go wrong. The band is playing with two of my favorite local acts (Strand of Oats, Yellow Ostrich) this Wednesday at Bowery Ballroom. See them there and buy tickets here. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
