St Vitus Dance - Glypotheque
St Vitus Dance are a Belfast band that have with this album now released two in total…twenty years apart!
Way back in 1987 they signed to the home of Half Man Half Biscuit in Liverpool, Love Me, Love My Dogma was released and then the band got homesick, things quickly fell apart from there and the band split.
Nearly twenty years later the band were approached to perform at the Belfast Cathedral Quarter Festival and agreed. The show was a storming success and they started to write together again a\s well as play more shows.
The end result of that is the bands second album Glypotheque. It has an alternative folk feel to the album, warm arrangements and plenty of melody in the vocals. Lyrically it contains dry humour, born out of a whistful outlook on life. It’s quite a charming album and despite the dull artwork is actually anything but, so I guess you can’t always judge a book by it’s cover!
