Gauntlet Hair [Out, Don't..., Mexican Summer]

Debuted on GorillavsBear this morning, Gauntlet Hair will be having a second 7'' release out soon (release date still unknown) on Mexican Summer

Out,Don't...

The duo of Andy R. and Craig Nice makes up Denver, CO’s Gauntlet Hair, but the gravity of the situation they create goes deeper than that. Both men are part of the Rhinoceropolis house in the city, and have sparked a musical movement that’s already gotten some dap via electronic artist Pictureplane. Gauntlet Hair divides the dance beats with an icy spell of post-punk and chilly, urbane vocals, but keep the rhythm up front and the aural violence at tense levels. Imagine the gorgeous gents of Duran Duran dressing up as Liars and showing up to the beardo mountain Brooklyn commune to pants the guys in Yeasayer, and you’re a bit on course to defining the heavy space hits and body-moving apocalypse grooves they dumpster-dine on every night - Mexican Summer

Gauntlet Hair go on tour with Woodsman this Fall, see below tour dates (NSFW)

Gauntlet Hair [I Was Thinking]

Gauntlet Hair is the name of a band, originally from Chicago, but now finding residence in Lafayette, Colorado. A lot has been made about their very unique but intriguing band name but as I have always said, let the music speak for itself. According to a post on the bands myspace page, the name symbolizes "freedom of expression" and by listening to a couple of the tracks they have uploaded, the band name suites the music very well. It is very expressive and energetic and I can't get enough of it. Hopefully they will have a 7''/10''/CS/EP/LP out soon.
