Gliss - Strange Heaven (2018) EN

The duet Victoria Cecilia - Martin Klingman play as Gliss for over a decade now, they are known for creating very atmospheric and at the same time catchy dreampop combining the American art-pop with Scandinavian climate. Or, as they describe it on their Bandcamp site, "fucked up noise pop".

Their new album released by Kraftwööd Musik Fabrik is no exception. It is filled with delicate electronic sounds responsible for the "strange" from te album title and with "heaven" in the form of the angelic vocals by both Victoria and Martin. However, there's not that much of noise here, only some parts have the clear guitar in the foreground ("Strange Heaven", the tack), the band is more focused on the plasticity of basses and the beauty of electronically generated melodies. No way to blame them, especially that they can be called the electronic the Kills".

You can list some tracks that stand out like "Ja Ja: that stays with you thanks to especially well sounding vocals, industrially unsettling "Hand to the Wall" (with backgrounds that look like taken from more experimental music, maybe from the new album by Suuns, but still fits great here) ot he sad ballad "Hold Your Breath For Me".

"Strange Heaven" costs 7 USD.
