Michal Jacaszek’s Glimmer was all over our Best of 2011 lists: earning a silver medal in top albums, a gold in top tracks, as well as a place among our Tinnitus 25.
One of the tracks that really caught our attention was “Dare-Gale,” of which we wrote, “some kind of detonations seem to stand in as percussion. The nearly arrhythmic spans between harpsichord notes come off as heartbroken gangplanks. At times it all comes to a hazy stop, as if Jacaszek has put his hand down on spinning vinyl without first removing the needle. The pops of static and bits of sound grafitti are impeccably modern, and the one-minute unraveling from roughly 4:30 on should speak for itself as high art.”
Michal Jacaszek and Pedro Maia have put together a video for “Dare-Gale,” embedded below.
