Last time I checked in with Winter Gloves, a deliciously sweet and youthful foursome from Quebec City (but have since settled in Montreal), they were kicking my ass (and trying to make me fall in love with them at the same time) at CMW, where they opened for Woodhands at The Drake. Frontman Charles F. promised us that the band was about to duck away into the studio to record their debut album, but in the meantime, they were giving away free copies of their three song EP, About A Girl (you can listen to it on the band’s MySpace page). According to the band’s MySpace, the EP was recorded using a single microphone in a combination of recording studio/cramped Montreal apartment, and mixed with the original ambient noise left alone to create a ‘pleasant, dirty sound’.

Word has it the band’s debut album is nearly ready and should be released by this coming September. Very exciting news! Check out this clip of the band recording the album at Halla Music in Toronto. It makes me giddy thinking about seeing them live again.

If you wanna see exactly what I mean, check them out when they open for Tokyo Police Club (whose album you can preview a week in advance here) over the next two weeks:
