Glimmer is a charming, chiming, twee jewel that satisfies as much now as it did when originally released. It is the definitive musical statement of
Glo-Worm, a justifiably beloved indie pop band. Formed by Pam Berry (vocalist for Black Tambourine, Belmondo and others; editor of Chickfactor magazine) and guitarist Terry Banks (Tree Fort Angst and St. Christopher, now Dot Dash), the band then added Dan Searing (Whorl, The Saturday People) on drums. The band's active phase was a mere 2-1/2 years in which they released 7"s and contributed to compilations.
Glimmer was a compilation of those recordings and was released originally in 1996 by Olympia, Washington's K Records. To the delight of WYMA and indie pop fans, K Records has reissued
Glimmer in honor of its 30th anniversary. This is the first time the album is available in vinyl format, and the digital version includes several bonus tracks. This is essential twee pop to reside aside lo-fi gems by The Pastels, Beat Happening and other worthies in your collection.
