SINGLE REVIEW: False Eyed Dolls - Glossolalia
'Glossolalia' sees London based alt duo False Eyed Dolls head in a darker, heavier direction. Having previously received praise from Radio 1's Dan P Carter the band are certainly on the cusp of something great with their brand of rock that mixes classic tones with enigmatic energy.
The Latin for speaking in tongues 'Glossolalia' examines cult behaviours along with a plethora of other weird shit. Ed found himself down a rabbit hole researching all kinds of bizarre stuff, discovering the word 'Glossolalia' and figuring it would be a cool concept for a song. It details how easy it is to get sucked into cult mentalities, lost in a freaky world of speaking in nonsensical tongues and conveying brainwashed behaviours
The track boasts a heavy, well rounded sound with beefy hooks, fuzzy guitars and epic riffs. 'Glossolalia' is dirty with a catchy groove, classic vocals, attitude and just the right amount of pretentiousness. It's bold and hammering, gritty and infectious. There's a captivating energy. Their sound is both safe taking inspiration from established artists such as Queens of the Stone Age while also exciting, and exhilarating. Boasting a big chorus and impactful noise.
I was hooked on 'Glossolalia' from first listen, it's raw, unapologetic, well produced with authenticity and passion.
