I actually checked out Winter Gloves in 2008 when they covered LCD Soundsystem, but didn’t find myself enough in love to post on it. However, when I gave their album About a Girl a spin, I dug this first track.

MP3: Winter Gloves – Factories
There’s a kind of texture to the keys line in “Factories” that sounds sort of hollow and beautiful. It reminds me a bit of the tone Wolf Parade would occasionally get on their pre-Sub Pop stuff. However, they turn away from that with the vocals and melody. It’s very quick and seems like it wants to be a dance-rock song, but can’t give up some Canadian spaz-rock leanings.
