Ida No and Johnny Jewel rekindle the Glass Candy project with the 'Feeling
Without Touching' EP. Their sound here seems so apt for 2010, revising the
vintage futurism of no-wave disco pop with a canny blend of heartfelt
nostalgia and cliched pop truths that seem to operate in a time zone all
of it's own. 'Feeling Without Touching' uses tangibly fizzing analog
synths and muffled drum machines in classic Glass Candy style, while the
fuzzy euphoria of 'Sugar & Whitebread' cracks out a natty sax and crimson
glowing synth pads for one of their most nuanced compositions. However,
the highlight must be the droning instrumental 'Shine Like Gold &
Diamonds' which falls next to Oneohtrix Point Never or Emeralds for sheer
synth drone bliss in miniature form. Absolutely Lush.
