New West Records

New West Records is a rock-oriented independent label that was founded in 1997. With a focus on alternative, indie, country, and folk music, this US-based label has established itself as a powerhouse in the industry. Headquartered in Los Angeles and Austin TX, New West Records also exclusively represents the renowned PBS Television program Austin City Limits. Known for their commitment to showcasing both archival and current performances, this label releases an impressive range of music on DVD and CD formats.

The Glands are an indie rock band hailing from Athens, Georgia. Known for their unique sound and captivating performances, they have become a staple in the alternative music scene. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists such as Beulah, Quasi, Robert Pollard, and The Olivia Tremor Control, The Glands have carved out their own distinct musical style.

Formed in the late 1990s by frontman *Ross Shapiro*, The Glands quickly gained recognition for their introspective lyrics and melodic compositions. Their music effortlessly blends elements of indie rock, lo-fi pop, and psychedelic influences to create a truly original sound that resonates with listeners.

Over the years, The Glands have released several critically acclaimed albums including their self-titled debut album and "Double Thriller." Their songs have garnered praise for their intricate instrumentation and thought-provoking lyrics. With each release, The Glands continue to push boundaries and challenge conventional norms within the indie rock genre.

New West Records is humbled and proud to release recordings from Athens, GA luminaries The Glands. In the year 2000 the band released their critically acclaimed eponymous middle record, The Glands. This recording has been remastered and features the band's definitive sequence including five rare songs. Take a listen and hear why NPR says, "The Glands' self-titled effort from 2000 is a record whose seeming accessibility makes less sense the more you pull it apart. Take, for instance, "Work It Out," where '60s Merseybeat butts up against Rolling Stones licks but stretches in and out like taffy slapped on a snare. Or "I Can See My House From Here," which should roll on end credits for every cool movie ever made; its layers of backwards guitar and Shapiro's double-tracked close harmonies transform into a boogie-rock jam The Flaming Lips probably wished it had recorded first." Pressed on Limited Edition Green Colour Vinyl.
