Reviews & Discussion
The 'Glider EP' represents one of the key releases of a significant 'cross-over' mo(ve)ment between the guitar-driven indie fraternity and the synth-led house/dance set during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Other artists of this cross-over genre/period include Jesus Jones, The Shamen, Soup Dragons, Stone Roses, etc. However, they all came from different musical directions/traditions to this juncture, with MBV being more 'hardcore' indie and less commercial than some of the others. Being a bit of an indie kid at the time I remember the stir this release caused in the likes of the NME et al.
By far the strongest track - and the most obviously electronic and most danceable - is 'Soon' which has a funky repetitive baseline over which whispery groaning vocals are laid. It would provide the sound basis for an even more funky remix I'm sure.
The remaining 3 tracks lean more to the indie side of things. 'Glider' and 'Don't Ask Why' are really spaced-out trip affairs, whilst 'Off Your Face' is slightly more upbeat.
