Glade Sowards



"Glade"



Self-Released



Street: 07.01



Glade Sowards = Black Wagon + David Williams + No Comparison



I was at SLUG Mags’s July LOCALIZED which doubled as David Williams’ CD release show at The Urban Lounge, when it turned into “Glade’s Surprise Record Release Party.” I have to say, it plucked my heart-strings. Glade had no idea that Jeremi Hansen [sic], Brent Dreiling (Band of Annuals), Brinton Jones (The Devil Whale) and Jesse Ellis (Blue Sunshine Soul [sic]) had recorded, mastered, pressed and duplicated 250 discs from four years of Glade’s collected demos. Let me say that they do NOT sound like demos. I think of Glade as chief of his own market. “New York City” stands alone as a somber ballad of missing someone, while “Again” reflects the return of a love lost. Every song on this record is honest, heartfelt and beautiful. –Lance Saunders
