Amidst the Radiohead-LCD-MIA-National blitz that was the “Best of ‘07” lists for most major magazines last year, those crazy taste makers over at the NME had something a little curious listed for their second-best song of the year: “Daddy’s Gone” by Glasvegas.

Glas-who?!

According to the NME, “Daddy’s Gone” was better than everything else in 2007 except “Golden Skans”. And this from a band who only has three 45s listed to their name, and, when this poll came out, didn’t even have a record deal.

Needless to say, those days are long gone. Glasvegas signed to Columbia and are working on their debut album as we speak. You think the Vampire Weekend hype is big? Just wait. In six months all you’re going to hear about is this band that sounds like Elvis if he were signed to Creation Records.

I for one in am full support of this band blowing up. Too many mornings I wake up singing one of their hooks (like I did this morning, hence the above post), and there is just something so epic and catchy about their white-noise sprawl, not to mention that great, great accent.
