Glass Candy - Feeling Without Touching (2010)

Feeling Without Touching is a landmark release for Glass Candy, marking the peak of their popularity within the indie community. The title track represents the quintessence of the "Italians Do It Better" style: pulsating arpeggiators, crystal-clear synthesizers, and Ida No's vocals, which balance between childlike naivety and weary detachment. Beyond the hit title track, the release features experimental b-sides such as the surreal "Covered In Bugs" (radically different in sound with its broken structure) and instrumental variations that showcase Johnny Jewel's mastery as a producer of analog electronics. This is not merely a single, but a mini-collection demonstrating the group's range from pop music to avant-garde.
