Hurdy Gurdy Men's "All That Glitters" exemplifies its eclectic approach to songwriting, where alternative rock, Americana, and bluesy funk are all intertwined and expansive! Immediately at the start of "All That Glitters," it wraps you up in textured, warm Hammond B3 chords and an uplifting groove that feels both nostalgic and modern.
The guitar soars with soulful sophistication and finds a perfect balance between deeper, heavier lines and soaring, cinematic Americana melodicism. There is an intrinsic duality to "All That Glitters," a terrific push-and-pull against each other that is so nicely woven into the composition. And like the duality of the song's voicing and instrumentation, Hurdy Gurdy Men allows space within each song for both reflection and contemporary storytelling, a perfect and rare combination these days.
"All That Glitters" will hang around long after the last chord has died out, a song that will bring up thoughts of late-night desert drives or the familiar soundtrack of internal dialogue and contemplation. It is earnest, energetic, and dynamically eclectic, asserting these indie artists as acts in the expanded form, as well as the history.
