Teargas & Plateglass  Teargas & Plateglass are a band who produce electronica, dark ambient and drone music with accompanying videos. NME classified their music as "illbient", "ambient for sick people". They are influenced by the works of Godfrey Reggio and Sebastião Salgado, David Sylvian, Jennifer Charles, Tweaker and David Hykes. They started out in 2001 and initially worked on remixes for 311, Tweaker, and Natacha Atlas, before releasing the track "When We Are Ignorant" in 2003. The American Film Institute, which exhibited their music videos in 2008, called them "a bold experimental vision". "URB" said the band "pave the way so the dark side can take its rightful place at the forefront of the genre". XLR8R described their sound as "darkness mixed thick like a pool of blood" and advised listeners to "take with a stiff glass of Absinthe". Danger Mouse likened their music to "the end of the world". King Britt noted that "their music restores my faith that deep, dark music still moves the masses". The band released an eponymous album in 2005, featuring Lil Gong, Oba Funke, Zap Mama and Natacha Atlas. AllMusic rated it 2.5/5, saying "this dark, desolate dirt road goes nowhere" while forecasting success in soundtracks.
