It all started as a few music file transfers from laptop to laptop in a van
while touring Europe as the band Engine Down and ended as a full-blown album of
musical compositions by means of the Internet from opposite corners of America.
Gl÷s started as Keeley Davis (former frontman of Engine Down and bass/synth
player for Denali and currently Sparta) and Cornbread Compton (former drummer of
Engine Down, Biology, and currently Heavens). Many years of playing in Engine
Down together proved the duo had a naturally unique style of meshing melody and
rhythm. When the discovery of song creation on computers became a reality, the
two found strength and freedom in writing separately and then collaborating.
Adding to each other's songs as if they were created mutually in the same room
was natural and noticeable.
After collaborating on over 20 songs and never having physically played the
songs together in a rehearsal environment, the duo decided to take even more
advantage of the freedom that this style of writing offered. They invited
Keeley's sister Maura Davis (former frontwoman of Denali) to join the project
and to add her beautiful, sultry vocals to the songs that already seemed perfect
for her. If it weren't for file sharing, none of the songs would have grown into
the theatrical landscapes that they have become, since each member was working
on different projects full-time in Texas, California, Virginia, North Carolina,
and Illinois. Assistance in recording drums was provided by Ben Lovett's studio
in Los Angeles and Black Iris studio in Richmond, VA, to obtain quality without
losing time.
After two years of writing and refining, Gl÷s has its first album entitled
Harmonium. Keeley Davis sums it up best: "Our longtime relationship with Lovitt
Records allowed a sister, brother, and dear friend from opposite corners of the
country to create a record without boundaries via independent creativity and the
Internet."
