Photo of Glorium in Lafayette LA, by Lauren Robertson, during the Fugazi/Branch Manager/Glorium Southern Tour April 1996.
Fuzziness and distortions act as shadows and fog to create an eerie brutal sound world where tracks are decapitated mid-life, now have a new ghostly digital breath.
Some of it is four tracked, mostly instrumental, there are a few songs that Glorium would play on stage, but most of it is raw and newborn, with a hand out hoping for a redux, but alas, not so, frozen in time, lost, but then found and compiled into this pile of three old tapes.
These are tapes the band would pass to kindred spirits on the road, to bond with fellow musicians/travelers endless friendships, endless joy in making music and touring Glorium’s latest sonic experimentation, new directions, and a way to possibly get a few bucks for gas to make it to the next small town.
We hope you dig these way underground noises in whatever town you live.
Love and Peace,
Golden Hour Records
