GLITTERER - Erer LP (Red vinyl)

Label: Purple Circle

Glitterer, the Washington, D.C., post-hardcore band, has a new record called "Erer." But after attempting to pronounce that quasi-eponymous title, and upon noticing that the 12" is out on a label called Purple Circle Records, you'll probably just start referring to it - in your head, out loud to your friends - as "the purple one." Performed by a revamped lineup - drummer Robin Zeijlon and guitarist Colin Gorman came on board last year, joining Russin and keyboardist Nicole Dao - and recorded by the prolific producer/engineer Arthur Rizk who has worked on every Glitterer record since 2019, "Erer" boasts a thunderous Albini boom, a stereo spectrum that feels ten-miles wide with floating and darting keyboard lines, impossibly sturdy-yet-subtle drumming, and soaring multi-tracked guitar leads.
