When a song takes five minutes of buildup to finally get
where it is going it better be good, and Glass Jar is just that. The opener off
of Gang Gang Dance’s album Eye Contact, Glass Jar is an explosion of sonic
electronic music that builds up to the beat and then drives it home, for six
minutes. In case you haven’t been doing the math, five minutes of build up
followed by six minutes of exploding beats adds up to a total of eleven
minutes, and while eleven minutes may seem a bit daunting for a traditional
dance track Glass Jar leaves you wanting more. The song starts off with a claim
that’s a little hard to believe at first, “I can hear everything, its
everything time”. As Glass Jar progresses however it becomes evident that the
band can deliver, and that it is indeed everything time.
