Archive for September, 2010News & Stream :Glasser Debut album "Ring" out now and streaming in full
“Pitched somewhere between High Places and Arthur Russell, Panda Bear and Bjork”
Fact
Glasser’s stunning debut album Ring is out now via True Panther / Matador / Rhythmethod. Glasser is the one-woman orchestra of Los Angeles based Cameron Mesirow. Ring was recorded with producer Ariel Rechtschaid, who helped re-imagine her musical arrangements, incorporating organic instrumentation including strings, woodwinds, bass, and a wide array of percussion into her once-sparse recordings. Mesirow’s simple, minimal melodies and rapturous vocals are perfectly complimented by the album’s maximalist arrangements. Ring moves like the wake of a small boat in a still lake; each song its own, but leading to, and becoming, the next. In doing so it builds on the tradition of classic albums like Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks, Joni Mitchell’s Blue, and R. Kelly’s Trapped In the Closet – albums that as a whole create stories that are bigger than the sum of their individual songs. Streaming right now for your listening pleasure:
“Clear-voiced folk to layered tracks with an intercontinental/intergalactic edge…an intersection of pop, deconstructed beats, and ethereal noise.”
LA Times
“These are beautiful songs, both sweet and abstract, deeply felt and anodyne.”
New York Times
“This synth siren sounds like a weirder and more credible version of Enya, all ethereal vocals and meandering melodies.”
Guardian UK
“Dreamy momentum via overlapping percussion, vocals, synthesizers, electronics, and a feel that’s both tropical and frozen.”
Stereogum
“Heavy breaths, tribal percussion, children’s lullabies, ambient clouds, and ghostly echoes all bubble to the surface right on time.”
Pitchfork

Archive for September, 2010Broken Records – news album, free MP3October 25th 2010 will see the New Zealand release of Let Me Come Home, the new studio album by Scotland’s Broken Records. Speaking about the inspiration behind their second album, Jamie Sutherland says: “An idea started to form about the direction of the new record based on several films and albums that I became gradually obsessed with at that time. Watching the widescreen emptiness of films Badlands, Rumble Fish and East of Eden, as well as records such as Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, Nick Cave’s Murder Ballads, Calexico’s Feast of Wire and REM’s early back catalogue all became a strong influence on the direction of the new songs. It was also during this time that the lyrical theme of the record started to take shape, thinking about what was going on around me in the form of fears and concerns over making relationships work, and a need for security.” Opening album track, ‘A Leaving Song’ is also available to download as a free MP3 from www.4ad.com/news/announce-new-alb-1/ ‘A Darkness Rises Up’ will be released as a single on October 18th Band photo by Chris Park |
