(Clicka qua per la versione Italiana)
Glasser, the one-woman project of
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and electronic musician
Cameron Mesirow,
debuted with the amateurish EP Apply (True Panther, 2009).
Ring (True Panther, 2010) boasted lush arrangements and an emphasis
on percussion.
The new version of Apply is a
languid Enya-esque wordless chant over
a tribal polyrhythm and majestic electronic lines.
Echoes of Enya (Orinoco) again permeate the vocal games of
Plane Temp, the sunniest ditty (with a surrealistic finale of unwinding
clocks).
The best rhythm inflates Mirrorage, that also boasts the most creative
vocal opening. The percussions intone their own pow-wow concerto while the
female voices play hide and seek.
She effortlessly ventures into intricate exotic threnodies such as
Glad and Tremel.
Some of the songs border on easy-listening muzak, but where it works her
art is refreshingly devoid of constraints.
