"It seems like everyone has that one friend that makes extraordinarily good music for their age. My good friend, Steve, who blogs about films over at Hightop Satchel, told me about his friend from school, Zach, who makes music with a friend under the name, Glitter Bones. Zach sent me his music, and I was more than willing to share this with all of you. Returning The Magic is a glorious leap into a beautiful psych-pop atmosphere. The vocals are distantly hazy, like a tiny figment of your imagination, and the electronics are suburb whether it be dance-y or mega-trippy beats. The 7-minute opener, “Glow In The Dark”, jams into a blissful world, where dancing around in any manner is encouraged. The two middle tracks are the shortest but get to the point much quicker, whether it be a summer fog (“Erial Celestial Vision”), or a lo-fi techno track (“Spell Legend”). “Race To Heaven” is a triumphant finisher to an absolutely excellent release from these young kids. I try not to say this very often, only for when artists actually do it right, but Glitter Bones acknowledge the best aspects of Animal Collective. Now I hope a comparison to Animal Collective doesn’t turn you away, because you’d be really missing out on this."

GLOW IN THE DARK

by Jeremy Daly @ Unexpected Friendship

DEEEEELICIOUS

"I’m waiting for the new album of Paralyze Humanity Sequence for almost 6 months now and here’s Nick Donlin, telling us that he’s « having a break with this project » and that he’s going to the fabulous world of Glitter Bones (near Fantasia) with his goodfellow Dr Breath. Let’s ride the kind winged monster to look for this endless story, where everything seems to be made of roses and fleecy clouds… And if you want to carry on with this magic trip, go to the brilliant Unexpected Friendship to download your ticket !"

"RETURNING THE MAGIC"

Hi folks. We figured we'd start this blog off with our first release.

GLITTER BONES
"RETURNING THE MAGIC"
Now available for free from Unexpected Friendship.



Check out the video on the download page. It's made by Jeremy Daly, and I'm really stoked on it. Also we're on Myspace now, for whatever reason.

And one more thing, we're playing a house party this Saturday in Chicago. It's going to be tons of fun.




So check back soon. Look out for some new remixes, and new material as it comes

peace
Nick
