Editorial review
I Don't Want to Be Around When You're Gone for Good showcases three strapping young lads from Massachusetts laying down 11 tracks of delicate drumming, mournful guitars, and melancholic vocals that evoke the darker side of human emotion. Songs about broken hearts and loss, reflection and our surroundings, these tunes are hitting on what may be typical topics, but in a fresh, poignant manner -- a format that may be familiar for fans of Grandaddy or Film Guerrero material. The tune "Telling a Lie" is about as close as jrCORDUROY ever gets to full-on rockin' and even that is subdued, but as far as this album is concerned, that's not entirely the band's forte. Rather, through subtlety and patience, jrCORDUROY builds upon the listener. Put on this album at night and reflect; play it during the day and relax. Either way, it's an album full of precise insights, something that while not entirely unique, is refreshing and needed in this day and age. ~ Kurt Morris, All Music Guide

The Glass Set released Something Unknown in February 2007. It featured Allen Esser on drums, Joel Cohen on guitar, vocals, and keys and Leah Callahan on vocals. It also had special guests Paul Engel on bass and Clara Kebabian on electric violin. Something Unknown was produced by Richard Marr at Galaxypark Studios with the assistance of Erik Szyska and mastered by Eric Masunaga at Modulus Studio Arts. The CD artwork and design is by Liane Silevitch. Here’s what the critics had to say about Something Unknown:
“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.
