Sparkly and shiny and noisy and somehow all the time a bit grim and helpless, Gauntlet Hair out of Denver are a two piece (four piece live) who’ve been at it since they were 15. Which, assuming that they’re not 16 and still in school, is quite a long time and enough to find a sound like theirs: considered and intelligent and supported by very decent psych-pop hooks. We like this very much.
Playing here in Berlin supported by Berlin indie-rock trio Skiing (previously at Berlin Beat) who’re right now proud of their debut EP, West Germany is the title. Available at shows.
