BLANK GLOSS – Cornered – LP – Vinyl

LP – Black Vinyl.

Sacramento, CA duo Blank Glosss third album, Cornered, is an exquisite statement of pop ambient starkness, an album that oscillates between lush beauty and spare melancholy. It follows from their 2021 debut for Kompakt, Melt, an album that saw Morgan Fox (piano, synths) and Patrick Hills (guitar) aligned, loosely, with the cosmic pastorale of the ambient Americana movement. Cornered feels like a significant step forward, though by peeling back the layers of their music, theyve revealed both its restful core and its solemn gravitas. It is unendingly lovely, but with something disquieting at its centre.

For fans of Roger Eno, Harold Budd, Badalamenti, Morricone, The Hired hand.
