"The Glass Set is outlining the soundtrack of the current state of schizophrenic, anything-goes indie: dreamy, shoegaze pop soundscapes over scrappy Bowery-fueled pre-punk delectation."
Michael Marotta, The Boston Herald

"Angular at times, hallucinatory at others…arresting, honeyed vocals… and driving, hook-laden, sometimes aggressive, sometimes lyrical sound anchored by ringing guitars and downtempo synths. (Think equal parts Mancunian gloom, No Wave skree, and effervescent pop confection.) As always, Callahan’s uplifting, deceptively sweet sing-song vocals —which rush headlong with a sense of wide-eyed wonder—temper the world-wearied tone of the lyrics, which deal eloquently with loss, regret, and the complicated business of living in the world."
Andrea Feldman, Warped Reality.

“The Glass Set’s CD Something Unknown - it’s in the vein of Metric minus some of the aggro: sharp, stylish, angular music heavy on the attitude. It was difficult to choose the song to post: “Telescope’s” beat is smart as military buttons, but “Something Unknown” has a nice, graceful flow in the vocals; “Tradition” won out as the favorite for the moment, with its easy, catchy bounce.”

“This indie/shoegaze band is led by the vocals of Leah Callahan who has a style all her own. Take it in and do some gazing.”

“(The Glass Set’s) new CD sounds very impressive”
Shred, legendary Boston DJ and promoter

“In a combination of darkness and light reminiscent of the UK’s beloved Lush, The Glass Set uses luxurious arrangements propelled by churning guitars and heavy percussion accented with lilting vocals. It is dark and dreamy and delicious. There is a nuanced decadence to it. It is haunting and spirited. Opposites collide for The Glass Set. The overall album entices with its yin-yang of moody, swirling melodies and Leah Callahan’s invitingly sweet lyrics. Something Unknown is mesmerizing, addictive and you will find yourself divinely absorbed in it.”

“The Glass Set are a four piece new wave/post-punk band, wonderfully fronted by the voice of Leah Callahan (Turkish Delight, Betwixt). The Boston Herald describes the band as ‘Joy Division fronted by a female Morrissey’, which is a fair comparison in my opinion. Their eleven song debut, Something Unknown, is scheduled for release in late February but you can download four tracks on the band’s Myspace page, including the beautifully fragile Telescope.”

“My top music recommendation (this year) so far (after the new Shins, though I eagerly await discs from The Stooges, Maximo Park, Arcade Fire, Ted Leo, Smashing Pumpkins, Hot Hot Heat, and hopefully Interpol and Radiohead too) is “Something Unknown,” the superb second album by Boston’s moody, masterful post-punk combo The Glass Set. Instant classics include the perky Stereolab-ish bounce of “Bike City,” the hauntingly melodic drone of “Ramones Afternoon,” sharp opener “Telescope,” and the shoegazery swirl finale of “I Am a Camera.”
