Review on PopMatters: 11/21/2010
“As Mother Nature draws the curtain on another passing year and blows the icy chill of winter through our veins what better way to salute the rise of darkness than a cosy night spent dreaming in Glass Graves?”

Review on Radio Rabbit: 11/18/2010
“The album is really well produced, in the sense that it sounds like it was recorded in the wine cellar of a haunted mansion. It’s moody lo-fi goth rock shoe-gaze death-glare oil-painting sulk-sock-wearing goodness.”

New Single on BEKO-DSL!: 10/11/2010
On Monday, October 11, 2010, Glass Graves released a single on BEKO-DSL out of France as part of the label’s Monday pop fix series (past participants include Memoryhouse, Woodsman and Disaro witch-housers Modern Witch and Mater Suspiria Vision).
The single features two new songs — Madeleine and Storm. The songs are a continuation of the hollow/lush drone post-punk that characterized the debut LP Architecture, but with decidedly louder beats…
Download the single for free at http://www.beko-dsl.com.
Enjoy and please feel free to review, repost and redistribute as you’d like!

Review on Neu Magazine: 08/11/2010
“This time our doom-tider is Californian resident Gaby Graves who…has crafted some impressive sparse-ballads as Glass Graves on “Architecture”.”

Review on Skeleton Crew Quarterly: 08/10/2010
“Works like Architecture, a heavy swirl of dreamy vocals and decaying arrangements, discredit any attempts at labeling – whether made-up or established – for no better reason than that these records exist on the periphery of what is recognizable and intangible. Like a cloudy wine, Glass Graves (aka Gaby Graves) create unsettled compositions that feel dangerous because they’re intoxicating, or maybe vice versa….Although her vocals call to mind the exiled-angel figureheads of early 4AD (This Mortal Coil, Cocteau Twins), her compositions dig through muddy crypts with desperation too visceral for starry-eyed wandering.”

Interview & review on Ashtapes: 07/07/2010
“Name 4 bands without whom you wouldn’t exist. 1) Curve — because Toni Halliday’s voice still casts a spell on me, after all these years; 2) Barry Adamson — because everything he touches is the soundtrack to a magical nightmare (The Birthday Party, Magazine, Bad Seeds, all his solo records); 3) Afghan Whigs — because dirty lo-fi is a lifestyle, and because Greg Dulli’s command over a crowd is frightful and fantastic; 4) Sisters of Mercy — drum machines and total darkness — I can’t live without it.”

Review on No Fear of Pop: 07/07/2010
“Situated somewhere between the Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, and Zola Jesus, Glass Graves is a haunted, goth version of classic shoegaze themes. This is dream pop imagined during a nightmare, dark yet beautifully captivating.”

Review on Pigeon Post: 06/13/2010
“…the 9 tracks sounding as if they’ve been recorded in an abandoned mansion, a ghostly, haunted air hanging over the 9 tracks… The sound is one heavily coloured by the post-punk movement and Gothic music, droning guitars interweave with delicate, distant piano for most of it, whilst Graves’ vocals linger nearby. There are definitely shades of Witch house within, but this is a fundamentalist version of the sound, stripped back from the ultra-modern direction Disaro’s bands take. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find many signs of the digital revolution in the tracks, and this could just as easily be some forgotten classic you happen to come across in an second vinyl shop, such is the timelessness of the sound…It’s ultimately the restraint shown in not instantly going in for the kill that make these 9 tracks so memorable.”
