Glasser
Glasser’s 2010 debut, Ring, enthralled us with experimental soundscapes.
Her new album, Interiors, is equally intriguing with sounds that reflect her move from Los Angeles to New York in the intervening years.
“Design” is the featured track.

2010/2011
The world of music is cyclical and goes into hiatus a few weeks before Christmas and into the new year. Slowly new music is released in January and gains momentum later in the winter flowing into the spring.
Bands that enthralled me last year included Arcade Fire, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Avi Buffalo, Badly Drawn Boy, Beach House, Belle & Sebastian, Best Coast, Blonde Redhead, Delorean, The Drums, Dum Dum Girls, Eminem, Girl Talk, Glasser, Gorillaz, Janelle Monáe, Joanna Newsom, Karen Elson, Laura Marling, Lykke Li, Matt & Kim, Mumford & Sons, The National, No Age, Perfume Genius, Phoenix, School of Seven Bells, She & Him, Shearwater, Sleigh Bells, Stars, Titus Andronicus and Warpaint.
And The xx continued to give me great pleasure.
Here you will hear the best new music as it becomes available.
Next week we will have an exclusive Cure video.
Happy New Year indeed.
Glasser
Cameron Mesirow is the band known as Glasser. She was born in Boston but moved to San Francisco pre-adolescence. (Of interest, her parents are Casey Cameron of the band Human Sexual Response and her father is a member of the Blue Man Group in Berlin.) She recorded her first EP by herself on GarageBand in 2009. Now with the assistance of a studio and producers her debut album Ring will be released later this month. Sumptuously beautiful, “Home” from that album is the Song of the Day.
