Glenstrup is a Vancouver based trio with a broad, modern rock sound.  A collaboration of three musicians with lengthy and diverse musical backgrounds, Glenstrup songs are impressionistic, melancholy, thick with lush chords and the jangle of open strings in strange places.  Moments of spaghetti western twang, jazz waltzes, eastern modes, are interspersed through sweeping changes, angular rhythms, big choruses and haunting vocals.  You get an impression of 90’s alternative like Radiohead and Bjork, but also the frenzied, organized craziness of Estradasphere, or the lyrical songwriting and odd bridges of the Beatles, all tightly arranged into surprisingly catchy songs.  They’re fast and slow, soft and dynamic, aggressive and gentle.  A trio of impressively able musicians delivers an energetic and engaging show of this strange and demanding music.
