We just started getting into new Montreal based band Winter Gloves, and we wanted to give you a download of the band’s best jam. For your listening pleasure, we give you “Let Me Drive” which will appear on the band’s debut LP About a Girl. The song blends an old school Mates of State organ sound with more poppy elements of fellow Canadians Tokyo Police Club. You can expect the new album on March 24th via Paper Bag Records.
