Glasvegas: I'd Rather Be Dead Than Be With You


James Allan has a gift for creating outstanding anthems from human wreckage, an ability to steer tragedy into poetry better than anyone else in the world right now. The first two Glasvegas albums - especially the self titled debut, saw him build beauty from harrowing despair without it ever sounding insincere or unsympathetic. The recent release of new single 'I'd Rather Be Dead Than Be With You' is him again rummaging around in the emotional turmoils of the human being - where every word spoken is loaded with honesty and hurt. The third Glasvegas album 'Later..When The TV Turns To Static' is due for release soon.
