Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Anyone reading my previous review of this band, the glorious single “The Mirror,” might have thought, “this guy’s on the pay role or perhaps owes the band money.” I did wax a little too lyrical, perhaps gush a tad too profusely. Guilty as charged. But then, The Ember Glows seem to capture most of my eighties youth in their swirling, shimmering, antheming, and energetic music. To coin a phrase, they are worth it. [...] I don’t know how they manage to touch so many reference points and yet still sound cohesive and of themselves. But if it were easy, everyone would be doing it. - Dave Franklin, The Big Takeover
