Add Tall Firs: Ryan Sawyer's drumming and Dave Mies and Aaron Mullan's creamy dual-savant guitar stylings.

Michael Troutman of Awesome Color introduced Tall Firs to Soft Location via their music. One year later, a mysterious e-mail was sent to Tall Firs, and the two bands met in a hummus hut in Brooklyn. This album is a record of their meeting. It was arranged, recorded and mixed in two three-day sessions.

Fuelled by laughter and sandwich delirium, Glass Rock shimmered into existence.

It really is a beautiful album, focussed around Leisen's stunning vocals and some of the most memorable riffs around at the moment. It's a marriage made in heaven; it was meant to be and we can only hope this incredibly creative combination will go on to perform together. If we're not so lucky, then at least we can console ourselves with this superb album of ten incredibly chilled, soulful and sensuous tracks. A real corker!
