Crux

Description

Glasser, the elevated electronic project from Cameron Mesirow, releases her anticipated third album, crux, via One Little Independent Records. crux takes Glassers entrancing blend of dreamy experimental pop and layered electronics to explore themes of personal identity, emotional vulnerability, and the human experience. The album maps journeys of self-discovery as she unpacks intimate experiences with a maturity and cathartic outlook. Specifically, the tracks on crux discuss the death of an old friend, her meditations on the fragility of life and the delicacy of relationships in times of uncertainty. More than anything its about the importance of creativity and writing while healing, and on an individual level, looking inward and the examination of ones grief, anxiety, and insecurities. Musically it searches outward, it includes the use of traditional folk, Celtic to communicate her Scottish roots, and Eastern- European styles, all introduced to her lush, atmospheric production, intricate vocal harmonies, and complex rhythms. Soaring vocals with free-flowing, rhythm-obsessed eclecticism that make for a notably welcoming collection of atmospheric, electronics-brushed pop Pitchfork Its Glassers sonic constructions which holds our interest first and foremost; a bolder and more up-front sound The Line of Best Fit Potent, sexually charged and teeming with life.

This is pop for consenting adults: music for awake minds Dazed Available to independent retailers on green vinyl.
