Summer in the city means lots of free shows, and Highline Ballroom has already started the ball rolling. Glass Ghost is the perfect music for a lazy Saturday night: the mood of Pinback, the voice of a tame Alec Ounsworth, and the clever subtleness of Luke Temple or Menomena. Once the songs develop, it becomes easy to forget there's only two people on stage. Drummer Mike Johnson sings, and Eliot Krimsy's Moog makes for a quirky synth bass. Glass Ghost really sounds like, well, a glass ghost- somewhat of a rarity here in NY where band names and band sounds are in perpetual disjunct. Don't make the mistake of confusing Mike's sangfroid for stylish boredom or Eliot's boyish jitter for nervousness. Go see them play, and enjoy it!
