Happy New Year! TGV 15 on the Star Tribune's "top local albums of '07"
15. THE GLAD VERSION "MAKE ISLANDS"
With a boyish, downbeat/uptempo indie-rock sound somewhere between Death Cab for Cutie and Bright Eyes, this well-polished quartet would've sounded great on "The O.C." It still sounds pretty good on the station one of its songs is named after, "89.3."
Direct link
Metro Mag via Rob van Alstyne has listed us as one of their "Eight for '08" bands.
2. The Glad Version
The sound: Slick mid-tempo indie-pop sure to appeal to fans of Death Cab for Cutie.
Why this could be the year: The band's gently rocking tunes are hip enough to appeal to the college rock crowd but smooth enough to play on Cities 97.

The album is done! The glass master of "The Glad Version - Make Islands" was handed to Andrew Volna at Noiseland Industries yesterday afternoon for replication. The process of recording was great, but it is such a relief to be done with this beast. In the next couple weeks, we will be sending out press releases and radio promotion like mad. Our college radio add date through Vitriol Radio is 10/23. The disc is officially released 10/27 on Draw Fire Records... oh yeah, I forgot to tell you... we're on a record label now... an awesome one at that. Watch for new photos, new songs, and an expanded website (www.makeislands.com) soon to come.
