Gliss Riffer
Gliss Riffer marks new territory for Baltimore-based Dan Deacon who, following up on the release of his large ensemble-based recordings - 2009 s Bromst and 2012 s America - has returned to a simpler way of writing and recording, similar to that of 2007 s Spiderman of the Rings, which resulted in this self-produced album. What Gliss Riffer shares with Spiderman of the Rings as a musical experience is an aesthetic directness and its ecstatic energy.
