Glassnote Records have stayed winning, or at least stayed paid, these past two years on a roll that’s tapped indie’s lucrative side via acts like Phoenix and Mumford & Sons. These are facts that have not hurt Louisiana BTW (and Stereogum40 alum) Givers. The Glassnote rookies hitched their debut to the label and have subsequently found themselves on Fallon and now in possession of two relatively finely produced videos. There was the bright smiles and family friendly psychedelics of “Up Up Up,” and now there is “Meantime,” which stars the band, and child-actor versions of themselves, roaming around campsites until their sunny pop/Dirty Projected jitter climaxes at a glittery, jubilant jam session full of young people who dance around as much as they do. Check it, here:

I might give this a chance if it wasn’t the same band who wrote “Up, Up, UP” – which is, in my opinion, the worst indie song of 2K11.
I might give your opinion a chance if it wasn’t in my opinion the worst hipster criticism of 2K11.
Why didn’t Pitchfork review their album ‘In Light’? That remains puzzling to me, I thought they were a really promising, hyped up band… are they considered ‘uncool’ or something?
