Album Review: Gauntlet Hair, Gauntlet Hair
Commenting on band names is a bit like asking people to explain the slogans on their graphic t-shirts. The name Gauntlet Hair, however, can’t escape mention. While the group’s name choice still eludes me, the idea behind Gauntlet Hair is pretty easy to pin down. Their sound is a consistent and oddly current blend of chillwave fuzz and the Myths of the Near Future-era Klaxons with a touch of Jane’s Addiction shouty-ness and vibe.
