Releasenotes:
Phara returns with a second project under his In Glass alias. In
'Scratching the Surface', we're light years away from the heavier, more
instructive dance records that have become synonymous with Phara's
style. In this EP, the Belgian artist reaffirms his celestial, delicate
sound in four tracks that delve further deeper into the emotional
soundscape proposed in the first EP.
'Sally' begins the project with the most dance floor oriented of the
four tracks, proposing an intoxicating blend of styles that bloom
throughout its six minutes. Soft pads and bright keys twinkle along a
cradling rhythm as In Glass delivers a truly musical piece that sifts
through memories. Percussion is then taken out of the equation as 'All
Things (424 Version)' comes and lands softly on the center stage. Lush,
ambient waves come lapping at the shore of 'Scratching the Surface',
describing nothing but space and serenity - a breath from everything.
The dreamy tone of 'All Things' oscillates along reassuringly into the
B side, keeping the tempo low and the sound design organic. Here, we
step into In Glass's world of dub techno and adjacent sounds that
defined his first record last year. 'Plateau' rises slowly from the wax
with a round low end and suspended chords that hover high above.
Opening stabs over a harmonic bassline make a head massage of a track
that sways along. The raw emotion behind In Glass's music is inviting,
flashing by as ethereal synths open and close to install a personal,
meditative experience of electronic music. The percussion remains
discrete, allowing the harmonic information to wash over the listener
into the last track of the EP. He concludes with 'My Idle Hands',
pressing further into the dub techno sound that echoes through a
cathedral of memories. Blurry shapes pass by over a more determined
rhythm section, confirming the intimate nature of In Glass's music. The
music wanders along, its head in the clouds but with a full heart,
telling stories of being lost and finding home.
