Glitterer, formerly the solo project of Title Fight’s Ned Russin, has returned as a full band, with Nicole Dao on keyboard, Jonas Farah on drums, and Connor Morin on guitar. Today, they’ve announced their new LP, Rationale, which is set for release on February 23 via ANTI- Records. The first single is called ‘Plastic’, and you can check it out below, along with the album cover and tracklist.
Recorded with producer Arthur Rizk, Rationale follows Glitterer’s 2021 album Life Is Not A Lesson. “I had a few different ideas of how to expand Glitterer, but after spending a year practicing songs about loneliness by myself, I decided a cohesive band was the only way to go,” Russin said in a statement. “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.”
‘Plastic’ is the first song we wrote as a full band,” Russin explained. “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).”
