Gliss moves beyond the Smashing Pumpkins/Jesus & Mary Chain comparisons of the past to a sound more their own on Langsom Dans. Taking a cue from their fellow Danes The Raveonettes, Gliss embrace electronic drums and let their vocals break through the often thunderous din the band creates, elevating songs like “A To B” and “Into the Water” beyond merely being pretty and atmospheric. They establish a unique sensibility on first single “Weight of Love,” a sexy, lush electro-noir track that builds to a big chorus and nicely features Victoria Cecilia’s sultry vocals. Cecilia also shines on “Blur,” showing their indebtedness to My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless without overly aping it, transforming shoegaze shyness into ecstatic, lovelorn pop. While the band doesn’t always rise to the overly grandiose ambitions they set for themselves, they prove more than capable of casting an entrancing spell on Langsom Dans.
