I used to think these guys were about the most overrated band on the planet but I've got to say that the last few things I've heard by them have grown on me a bit. The lead track here is a bit of an odd one with its strangely bleary mid-range production style.. Everything else about it reminds me of Dinosaur Jr. because of the lazily delivered vocal melody and the noisy, atonal guitar line that runs right the way through it but the comparison doesn't quite seem right because of the haze of it all. Fuck it, it's the best I'm gonna give you. The 7" and 12" feature different extra tracks and, as Business Lady has just pointed out, they're gonna appeal to the folks who've been into that last Wavves album as they mine a pretty similar sort of furrow.

Sound clips for Glitter + 1 by No Age: on vinyl at Norman Records UK. 7" (vinyl), Sub Pop, SP899, £2.89.
‘Glitter’ is the lead single from their highly anticipated new album, ‘Everything in Between’.
No Age is the Los Angeles duo of Dean Spunt and Randy Randall. They’ve pushed themselves in challenging and different directions, deconstructing their weird-out pop songs while still maintaining their original aesthetic and intent.
Where their explorations in sound were previously suspended separately around instrumental reveries and misty coatings of distortion, these abstractions are now adding to the emotion and euphoria throughout every song.
‘Glitter’ is available on 7 inch and 12 inch, each with their own B-sides.
