We continue our "Best of NYC Countdown", covering every day one of the artists that made our Year End Best of NYC list (a chart compiled by a jury comprised of local bloggers, music writers, promoters, record store personnel and DJs).
Consisting of former members of the Brooklyn group Flying, Glass Ghost released its debut album “Idol Omen” in October of 2009. Swishing, low bass beats contrast the high-pitched subtle vocals as songs go up and down from tribal and slightly dancey to slow and confessional. The deadpan vocals dance playfully with the melody of the keys and the beats jump in and out. Glass Ghosts watery demeanor, with hollow beats and swelling keys, displays a diverse range of influences expressed in a really unique way.
