Chewing on a Wire // Glove

Do you want to hear what the joint offspring of The Horrors and Kraftwerk would be? I thought you would. Give Glove a try. This is such a track for an alternative weekender. Dark and synthy, it channels the dark 80s tracks that you think of but can never actually find. Echo and the Bunnymen…
