Divine Glint Music

Released

A weird, compact little collection that sits uncertainly close to several different areas of exploration – ambient; warped almost-pop; hazy glitch-outs; collapsing club music – without really making any definitive decisions about where it stands, which is the way to do it. Divine Glint Music has a kind of ‘just right’ clumsiness, on the surface, that belies how articulate the production really is – it’s smartly constructed to feel easily done. Glazer’s best moments are where he confuses your expectations, as with the swarm of textures that descend half-way through “Inside Voice” before making way for an insistent, incessant loop; the whole thing twitches and itches with insectile movement. It’s not an easy one to parse, really, but its collisions of electronic textures, turntablism and more beyond stays compelling across its thirty-five minutes.
