the glasser ep

Can I talk about Glasser for a sec and about how she was on the eMusic Selects compilation and she played this awesome/awkward show at SXSW that I loved and how her new Apply EP is really really great? Can I please? The EP starts with “Apply,” the song that made the compilation, and then it’s followed by “Glad,” a song I love even more. “Glad” has always sounded to me like Bjork’s “Unravel” (watch this amazing Bjork performance video on repeat pls), this rinky-dink, dot-to-dot melody that has hints of the Far East. And then the way Cameron (the woman behind Glasser) does this teetering thing with the vocal line, sort of a slow-dancing preying mantis kinda song. (That made no sense and I’m sorry.)

Literally every track on here is great. “Learn,” the Lucky Dragons remix of “Glad,” the John Talabot remix of “Learn.” All wonderful. But none of them — none of them — compare to the Tanlines remix of “Glad.” It pulls in the steel drum, calypsotic feel of the Knife’s “Pass It On” and has this general bounciness that will charm you to death. (Joe says it sounds like Siouxsie and the Banshees, too.) Yeah, so consider this an endorsement. Download this!
