Glowbug – “No Fun” from Abiel Hoff on Vimeo.
Remember Idiot Pilot?
They were an electronic duo from about seven years back that made a big splash by taking second place at Sound Off! and signed with major label Warner Brothers. Unfortunately, as is the case with a lot of young bands that sign with major labels, their sophomore record didn’t sell well and the band left the label. They later attempted a comeback last year but things just didn’t pan out and are now on an indefinite hiatus.
Well, now Daniel Anderson, who was one-half of Idiot Pilot, has a solo project called Glowbug and he is releasing his third Glowbug EP. The music is more dance-friendly with lots of electronic bloops and bleeps as opposed to Idiot Pilot’s more dark, atmospheric guitar/laptop songs. You can download the EP, titled Displacer Beast, for free over at the group’s Bandcamp page. The three EPs are precursors to a full-length Glowbug record that will be out sometime this year when Anderson isn’t on the road as the guitarist for Houston-based rapper Hyro Da Hero
If you like what you hear you can catch Glowbug live March 10 at Nectar ($10, 8 p.m.) where the group will be making its public debut. Christopher Newton, Brittany Hurley and Hanna Adams will be accompanying Anderson as part of Glowbug.
