"This is some of the most impressive post-Loveless rock
in years." - All Music Guide
" Under And In" is
the brilliant debut by two key figures in the Champaign-Urbana
rock scene - Tim Lash (of Hum) and T.J. Harrison (of Lovecup)
- teaming up under the name Glifted. This great album lives up
to the high expectations set for the duo with a hypnotic blend
of disembodied voices, swelling guitars, and looping percussion.
A headswimming collision of sound that comes highly recommended
to mourners of guitarrorists My
Bloody Valentine and Seefeel,
as well as worshippers of the evocative crush of musical innovation.
Through Hum, Tim's guitar work has influenced numerous heavy
hitters in search of the perfect riff like The
Deftones. Through
touring, Hum formed a musical kinship with Mercury
Rev. Somehow "Under
And In" straddles the line between both musical realms.
It's heavy and overwhelming. It's cinematic and sensual. It's
a million tiny exploding universes. And it's better than I ever
could have conceived.
I don't mean to oversell this, but I truly
hear this as one of those great, transfixing GUITAR albums destined
to influence forthcoming albums. It's that good! Highly recommended
to fans of Hum, Lovecup, My
Bloody Valentine, Seefeel, Mercury
Rev, Polvo, Castor, Twin
Princess, Flying
Saucer Attack, Mice
Parade, Guitar, M83, etc.
" Every now and then
a band will release a record that will send their peers back
to the drawing board. Truly one of the most innovative debuts
in years, Glifted’s Under and In is one of those records.
Similar to the hip-hop philosophy of building samples to rhyme
over, Glifted – the musical duo of ex-Hum guitar virtuoso
Tim Lash and former Lovecup bassist TJ Harrison – “clip
and flip” their own music to create unorthodox loop foundations
that anchor their shimmering yet complex fuzz concertos. (Think
writing a song over a skipping record.) The end results are a
beautifully magnificent and powerful orchestra of sparse drumming,
plodding loops, and rumbling bass melodies, surrounded by Lash’s
aerial guitar sirens which seem to attack from all angles while
his ghostly harmonies echo in the halls built by Glifted’s
melting walls of sound. Glifted’s closest kinship is probably
to My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless, but the superior musicianship
of Lash and Harrison coupled with a massive bottom end show the
band taking that sound into a twisted new dimension. Under and
In is a masterful album that is full of catchy tunes and sonic
landscapes that come together for the experience of a complete
stimulant. Start dusting off your drawing boards."
