Luminous Paints... Golau Glau





The sublime Golau Glau provide the first track for this album with a song entitled 'Seeing this shape'.

Its a track which conjures up images of otherworldly colours and strange happenings in a normal suburban situation..



The sound of Golau Glau is unique, different and has a very pleasant alien quality to it which suits this album very well. They have coined the term 'Silver pop' which describes their work beautifully.

Often working anonymously, they are mainly a collective of musicians, artists and photographers and have had their work recognized by the likes of the BBC and the Guardian newspaper..




It's an interesting point of fact that Golau Glau reference 'Luminous paints' in their song as there is a 'deleted sequence' from Close Encounters of the Third Kind in which Roy pinches the kid's Luminous paint for his railway set.. This sequence actually makes an appearance in the Marvel Comic book version of the movie from 1977..
