Many singers don’t sing with an accent. I’m SO glad James Allan, frontman for Scottish rock band Glasvegas, does. Aside from the swirling, epic sounds of the music, I can recognize a Glasvegas song in under 10 seconds. And I mean that totally as a compliment.
James wrote the latest album, “Euphoric Heartbreak”, around the corner from KCRW, on the beach here in Santa Monica. I can’t help but listen for elements of California sunshine making their way into the anthemic tracks. Frankly, I’m not sure it cheered him up much, but the results are definitely worth a listen and you can stream the album in full on KCRW’s Album Preview page.
