The Glaciers
The Moon Never Misses an Appointment
Eskimo Kiss 2006

I had been meaning to do a write up for some time on the Queens, NY based duo The Glaciers. And I am quit happy that I have finally come around to it. Because this is a group you need to know about. And I mean need. I actually am quite amazed that they have not emerged onto the national indie scene as a vital and integral band. But, soon enough that will happen. If there is any justice in this world.

But what makes the Glaciers great you may ask? A combination of brilliant attributes. The first is lead singer, Jackie Linge. She has that uniquely powerful gift of a voice that would honestly make me quite happy if she were singing me the phone book. Imagine a little bit of Sarah McLaughlin and Hem intertwined. It is a soulful, ageless and glorious gift.

If Linge's voice were it alone, this would still be a band worth holding onto. Yet, it is just the tip of the iceberg. The musicianship of her counterpoint, Ian Stynes, is so subtly beautiful and well conceived it is jarring - he is a master at the helm. Loaded in The Moon Never Misses an Appointment are soft electric leads, harmonies, piano, strings and my favorite, the pedal steel. So beautiful and ethereal - even masterful.

So listen up... The Glaciers are the kind of band that Reactor Media is in business for. And the kind of talent that I envision will be around for years. It is quite brilliant indeed.

The Glaciers - The Moonlight Never Misses an Appointment (Eskimo Kiss Records)
"Delicate but textured country pop from these former Mendoza Line alumni. While the songs themselves -centered around the vocals of Jackie Linge, (imagine Beth Orton if she grew up in Nashville) sound initially understated, listen carefully and you find all manner of layers and textures applied by guitarist/producer Ian Stynes and a stream of musical guests. "Railroad" starts off with some nice pedal guitar and "you going to be leaving me" lyrics but the highlight is the wistful "Habit to Break" which sounds like it could have come off the Magnolia soundtrack. Sweet."

THE GLACIERS @ Knitting Factory Old Office
Fronted by husband-and-wife duo Jackie Linge and Ian Stynes, this folk-rock outfit ushered in November appropriately. Cool, soft, and simple melodies complemented by an atmospheric steel guitar and cello accompaniment gave the Knitting Factory's typically claustrophobic Old Office a warm, welcoming ambience... the Glaciers provided a pleasantly soft pillow to lie on as Linge's neatly toned vocals sang the Marathon's inaugural night to sleep.
