GLO-WORM - Glimmer (Reissue) - LP - Vinyl [SEP 19]

LP - Standard Edition Black Vinyl. 

Glo-Worm produce chiming pop music of a non-bouncing variety that sounds pure, forlorn and unencumbered. Glo-Worm are at the heart of the ‘90s East Coast independent pop music scene that brought us Slumberland Records, Velocity Girl, Versus and chickfactor magazine. glimmer [KLP054] brings all the various glo-worm 45s together under one roof. It’s a real charmer, and now available for the first time as a long playing (LP) phonograph record.

Glo-Worm formed in Washington D.C., summer 1993 and features the voice of Pam Berry ( co-founder of chickfactor magazine) accompanied by Dan Searing (drums, percussion) and Terry Banks (guitar). Previously, Pam sang in Black Tambourine. Terry played in Tree Fort Angst and a stint in English underground combo St. Christopher. Dan had been in Whorl.

During the course of Glo-Worm’s two-and-a-half-ish year lifespan, the band released three 7” EPs (issued by the Somersault, Slumberland and K labels) and had songs on a couple of compilations, all leading up to the glimmer [KLP054] album, which compiled the 7” EPs and added a cover of The Cure’s ‘Friday I’m in Love’ and was released by K in 1996.
