“Glacier Garden” by Glacier Garden (Rock Artist from New York City, New York(NY))

RadioIndy is pleased to present Glacier Garden with a GrIndie Award for their CD "Glacier Garden"
 
The self-titled release by "Glacier Garden" is a refreshing collection of modern rock songs. Radio-friendly and radio-ready is perhaps the best term that describes this excellent CD. It is clear from listening to the CD, that this is a very talented band, both in terms of musicianship and songwriting. Many of the vocal performances on this album have a powerful sustain that fills the tracks with passion. "Beautiful" opens up with a beautiful acoustic intro and becomes engrained in one's memory due to its highly melodic sound. Taking on a heavier rock edge is the equivalently addictive "Where You Been," with its compelling guitar groove in the verses leading to a strong and melodic chorus. Other standout tracks include "Everything Forgives You," and "Rusty Bedframes." What's more, this CD is crafted with highly professional production. Fans of U2, Radiohead, and REM will enjoy this CD.

"Love and Gold" by the very experienced The Nucleus submerses listeners in classic rock heaven. Upon an initial listen, it becomes very clear that this band is skilled musically, vocally, and lyrically. The lyrics on the CD are strategically, poetically, and memorably written. The band is very tight and clearly has spent considerable hours in the recording and/or rehearsal studio. The title-track kicks of this CD with a delightful bang as listeners get acquainted with this band's vintage 70's rock sound. Three-part harmonies bring the chorus of this song to an invigorating climax. "Alabama" boasts a hook-filled unison chorus and an impressive keyboard bridge. Song after song, The Nucleus delivers musical hooks and contagious rock melodies on this CD that are sure to leave listeners thirsting for more.
