Ganglians are one of my new favorite bands. Stumbled upon them by prefabricated accident, liked what I heard, and plunked down $8 to see 'em at the San Francisco hole-in-the-wall known as The Hemlock. While their latest recorded offering, Still Living, is a bit shiny (actually more tinny), in living 3D they drop the disaffected glisten in favor of riveting surf gazer blow-out; their music drifts from demented, dreamscape doo-wop to ear glazing madness. This is deep-fried and sunny side up.
