Glitterer announce new album ‘Rationale’
GLITTERER have announced a new album!
Titled Rationale, the upcoming album from the former project of TITLE FIGHT‘s Ned Russin (which is now a full band), is the follow-up to 2021’s Life Is Not A Lesson, and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via ANTI- Records.
Following the release of his 2021 record Life Is Not A Lesson, Russin began to act on his instinct to broaden the project’s collaborative capacity. “I had a few different ideas of how to expand GLITTERER,” he says, “but after spending a year practicing songs about loneliness by myself, I decided a cohesive band was the only way to go. It has been, and always will be, my preference to be in a collaborative, creative unit, I just had to figure out how to get there.”
After a year of forced isolation amidst the COVID pandemic, the triumphant return of live music glimmered in the near distance, serving as an immediate motivator as he began recruiting musicians from the D.C. and Baltimore scenes. The lineup emerged with Nicole Dao on keyboard and Jonas Farah on drums, with Connor Morin on guitar for the album’s recording. The band recorded Rationale with producer Arthur Rizk [GHOSTMANE, CODE ORANGE, POWER TRIP] who, to date, has either recorded, produced, mixed, mastered, or done some combination of all four on every single GLITTERER record.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Plastic. “Plastic is the first song we wrote as a full band,” Russin explains. “The song is only two parts, but it came together easy. The difficult thing is finding the right and logical path, and most of all, agreeing on it. And within fifteen minutes, we had a song fully written and ready to go. This song discusses the futility in recognizing negative habits, both on micro and macro scales; it always feels like we have to lie to ourselves that our garbage is someone else’s fault (even if it actually is).”
