In addition to being endorsed by Creation Records' Alan McGee, Scotland's Glasvegas are probably best known for draping their melodic shimmer-rock in howling reverb, placing them somewhere between the Twilight Sad and the Walkmen. That's how we heard them on demo track "Flowers and Football Tops", and it's an approach they refine on "Geraldine", the burring, earnest, falsetto-topped first single from their self-titled major-label debut. Glasvegas set aside their bag of tricks and go the acoustic route in this rendition of the song for Sweden's PSL. Exposed are ringing, "Imagine"-style chord changes and a seriously lovely little song about a social worker, performed solo by a dude dressed in black wearing sunglasses indoors, lead singer James Allan.[original version from Glasvegas; out now on Columbia]
