“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

Mon, 11 Oct 2010 01:00:00 -0400

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!

“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

Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:00:00 -0400

“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

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0400

“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

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0400

“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

Sun, 13 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0400

“…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.”

Review on the Devil's blog: 06/10/2010

Thu, 10 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0400

“As the sun goes down Gaby Graves, a 27 year old bioethicist in San Francisco by day, transforms herself into the dark, haunting and perfectly named Glass Graves…Her album ‘Architecture’, which is available for free download, is a reflection of her artistic intent and obsessions with 80’s industrial, old school 4AD and 90’s lo-fi. “

Review on Ratpick: 06/10/2010

Thu, 10 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0400

“Every once in a while one finds a band that completely and overwhelmingly surprises one positively. Glass Graves, a band I discovered almost a month ago, is one of those bands. This San Francisco band is the brainchild and solo project of Gaby Graves, and the debut LP demonstrates her great affinity with the post-punk and gothic sounds of the 80s…The LP is characterized by a slow tempo, a certain hollowness, exquisitely layered guitars and Gaby’s own voice which is simply sublime.”

Review on Mingscastle: 05/22/2010

Sun, 23 May 2010 00:00:00 -0400

“I had no idea what to expect—but GG has a beautiful, hazy sound, drawing upon the best of shoegaze with just enough grit to make it lo-fi as well (think the atmospheric sound of Slowdive and Lush.) Occasionally I am reminded of the best of Massive Attack, and trip-hop/psychedelic. I highly recommend if you like Zola Jesus, U.S. Girls, Blank Dogs, and Pocahaunted. I spent a good twenty minutes listening to this and staring at the ceiling.”

Feature on Animal My Soul: 05/22/2010

Sat, 22 May 2010 01:00:00 -0400

Very grateful for this lovely feature by Martin at Animal My Soul:

“While the opening lines to the first track (The Trap Rebaited) are chilly - “You were born beneath rats , Or so you’d say” the overall tone of the album is more seductive than spooky. It has a breathy intimacy and the warm glow of 4AD style shoegaze is ever present. In the song Mess of Live Vines the image of “the sun haunted with electricity” sums up well the warm yet creepy atmosphere of these songs.”
