Montreal’s Winter Gloves gets maximum mileage out of minimalist arrangements on "About a Girl,” precisely because vocalist/keyboardist Charles F writes strong melodies that don’t require high-tech baubles to make them sing. Powered by analog keyboards, ancient beat boxes, organic drums, sparse guitar and liberal use of glockenspiels, "About a Girl” achieves a certain majesty without going overboard. This wall of sound is more like a mesh, allowing plenty of air to circulate. Much like Wolf Parade, Winter Gloves’ raw mix provides a kind of rough exoskeleton for songs that, in more candy-coated production environments, would be chart-ready pop music.
