Not so much following in the footsteps of Arcade Fire as beating their own path alongside, Chicago’s Conductive Alliance make a statement with this excellent EP of lush, layered, mathy tunes. Water Glyphs will, quite simply, take hold of you. A genuine gem and beacon of good things to come.

Love these photos and review. So, these DJ sets are at 7:30? I don’t really get it. And are these gonna continue once the Whitney moves? And most importantly, where can I attend an “hour-long clinic on shaking ass?”
