From the sound of Winter Gloves’ debut LP about a girl, their hometown of Montreal must be a chilly place. The electro-pop group has an affinity for bedroom-electronica arrangements, presumably conceived in those cozy confines to hide from the shivering cold outside, and frenetic dance beats that are designed to send listener’s blood temperature soaring when the heater’s broken. about a girl is bound to make their place of residence a little warmer, as the band offsets its use of potentially icy electronics with organic instrumentation, bouncy melodies, foot-stomping rhythms, and heartfelt performances. ‘Let Me Drive’ masterfully mixes anthemic vocals with analog synths, disco bass patterns, well-placed handclaps, and angular guitar accents. Similarly, the title track’s infectious melodies are bolstered by 8-bit synthetic flourishes and sonic curveballs that come in the form of both electronic and acoustic instrumentation. Winter Gloves have succeeded in crafting an album in which melodic sunshine can coexist with the frostier elements of dance music, bringing exuberance and flair to a style that could few others would dare touch with human hands.
