The progression of Ned Russin’s solo-project-turned-full-band Glitterer has been joyful to watch. In 2023, the DC post-hardcore crew released Rationale, which we named our Album Of The Week. It was their third LP on Anti-, and now they’ve announced its followup, erer, their first on their own label Purple Circle.
“Stainless Steel” serves as the lead single, possessing Glitterer’s usual blend of sparkling and shredding, and the lyrics have never been so on-the-nose: “How am I supposed to create change/ I want to see?/ It’s not enough/ To sit around and worry/ While the world is blowing up.”
The track comes with a visceral music video directed by drummer Robin Zeijlon, and it captures the derealization described in the song. Watching it is both uncomfortable and irresistible; for this reason it feels reminiscent of Marina Abramović’s 1974 performance art piece Rhythm 0. See for yourself below.
