Living Temples – Glass (Album – Digital/CD – Manic Depression Records)
This second album by the Swedish project Living Temples is released 6 years after “Against The Day”. “Glass” finds its influences in the dark sheen of 80s Dark-Wave that was subsequently polished with refined electronic arrangements. The album sounds powerful and melodic at the same time. Master thinker and operator Kalle Fagerberg is also a very good singer whose enchanting and charismatic voice will not leave you indifferent. The only minus is that the album only features 8 songs, but almost all of them are enjoyable. (Rate:8).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
