Glasser has announced “Crux”, her first new album in 10 years which is to be released via One Little Independent on October 6.
Glasser’s Cameron Mesirow, who also released the new song “Vine”, said in a statement that she wanted to create something where all the parts sound like they’re very separated.
“I was thinking like jazz, actually. It was about getting back to writing music after feeling a bit disconnected from the machinery around making music your profession,” she added.
“Crux” follows 2013’s Interiors and the 2018 mix Sextape, reports Pitchfork.
In a press release, Mesirow further explained the hiatus:
Just getting back to making songs was hard for me after the last album. When I made my first album, I didn’t have an established routine of trying and failing, it was very immediate. The second record was made after a few years of touring, which is a very unstable life, and I still didn’t establish a relationship to creating things regularly. After its release, I didn’t have a centre from which to recompose myself. The thing that finally brought me back to music as a positive experience was that I began taking lessons to learn Balkan singing. I wanted to try to learn all this vocal gymnastic stuff that I was listening to in the Bulgarian state television choir records. I started writing songs and working toward an album.
