Glasser - Interiors
Release Date: 8 October
Label: True Panther
Rating: 7.5 out of 10
In the world of corporate art, pictures of ships and hunting hounds, subjects that often bore very little cultural relevance to the buyer, would be sold quicker than the gobs of spit on a canvas passing themselves as modern art in The Tate Gallery. Why? Because, regardless of subject, the traditional paintings presented the viewer with something definite and recognizable. The impact art can have on a space cannot be overestimated.
Music is consumed in similar ways. From traditional shelf fillers like One Direction (the equivalent of a bland but popular painting) to the gobs of shite passing themselves off as modern trends (like pretty much everything Picthfork reviews), the definition of art is subjective to many things.
With abstract art, either you get it or not. It is meant to make you feel something. Either you can see it, understand whatever you interpret it mean and respond, or you skip it over. Either it blends in with the wall or it draws you to it.
Enter Glasser (real name Cameron Messirow). In the vein of Bjork, she has produced something abstract and beautiful, though you might not understand what it is she is trying to communicate. There is a lot of blabber about textures and architecture and all that, but what is obvious upon first listen is that she has taken a lot of time in creating these layers of atmosphere. It sounds effortless though.
I have never been into dissecting art. I love art and so prefer to let it speak to me, rather than me talking about it. I do hear a city when I listen to this. An Asian city maybe, though the references are subtle. There is chaos, form and structure here. It's all very calming. There is possibly a time of day when this kind of popular abstract music is most effective. I don't think 11 am is really the right time to listen to that. However this album does feel like a day time album. It's bright. Most of this experimental stuff can be quite dark and glossy. This is definitely sunshine-y. But not overly saturated.
Hell I dunno. It's calming? It's long. There is much here. I'm not averse to it. I reckon I could get into it. Abstract art does broaden the mind. Also bore-dens it though. Yeah. It's pretty and can appreciate the time she took to make it. Not really my cup of tea though.
