Glimmer [KLP054] LP & CD

Glo-Worm produce chiming pop music of a non-bouncing variety that sounds pure, forlorn and unencumbered. Glo-Worm are at the heart of the ‘90s East Coast independent pop music scene that brought us Slumberland Records, Velocity Girl, Versus and Chickfactor magazine. Glimmer [KLP054] brings all the various Glo-worm 45s together under one roof. It’s a real charmer, and now available for the first time as a long playing (LP) phonograph record. Glo-worm formed in Washington D.C., summer 1993 and features the voice of Pam Berry accompanied by Dan Searing (drums, percussion) and Terry Banks (guitar). Previously, Pam sang in Belmondo, The Pines and Black Tambourine. Terry played in Tree Fort Angst and a stint in English underground combo St. Christopher. Dan had been in Whorl. During the course of Glo-Worm’s two-and-a-half-ish year lifespan, the band released three 7” EPs  (issued by the Somersault, Slumberland and K labels) and had songs on a couple of compilations, all leading up to the Glimmer [KLP054] album, which compiled the 7” EPs (adding a cover of The Cure’s ‘Friday I’m in Love’) and was released by K in 1996.
