Manhattan may have a variety of wonderful venues both big & small, but Brooklyn really shines against its counterpart in its exceptional choices of truly diverse DIY venues. While the many of those DIY venues will be closing at the end of this year (or have already closed), one venue that has been a central figure since 2006 has been Glasslands Gallery. It’s a wonderful space to see live music, and it’s a complete shame that it will be closing. I had promised myself I’d see a few more shows before Glasslands closes at the end of this year, and when I heard New Myths were playing a headlining set, I knew where I was going to be on November 18th.
New York’s own New Myths are a female trio that seamlessly blend groovy/danceable baselines, dreamy electronic synths, hauntingly beautiful harmonies, and booming guitar riffs to create a sound that is truly all their own. Proof of this can be found on their wonderful new album Give Me Noise, that released earlier this year. A standout from the set was the first track off the new album “Howl,” that just begs to be played at full volume.
