Nach fast 2 Jahrzehnten Funkstille erscheint das sagenumwobene dritte Album der Kultband aus Athens, GA. Es ist zugleich ihr letztes. Frontmann Ross Shapiro erlag 2016 mit nur 53 Jahren einer Lungenkrebserkrankung.

Die auf »Double Coda« versammelten 23 Songs entstammen seiner Feder und wurden aus Aufnahmen zusammengestellt, die er über die letzten 20 Jahre gemacht hatte. Produziert haben das Album Gründungsmitglied und Drummer Joe Rowe, Bassist Derek Almstead und Glands Produzent David Barbe (lange Zeit auch für die Drive-By Truckers als Produzent tätig, man kennt ihn aber auch als Bassisten für Sugar, der Band von Bob Mould).

»You couldn't make a movie about band life in the 2000's without The Glands all over the soundtrack.« (James Mercer von The Shins)

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."

"where Double Thriller is a very good record, the Glands is miles beyond it and most everything else. Multivalent, charmingly homespun, and endlessly catchy, the Glands’ self-titled LP is a fractured pop dynamo, one sun-dappled aw-shucks anthem after another, strung together with yarn and masking tape. All the things you want an indie rock record to do, the Glands does almost as a matter of course. It’s slack without being sloppy, catchy without being cloying, clever without being, well, “clever.” " - PITCHFORK
