CMU Approved
Approved: Rustie
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 25 August 2011
Following a brief teaser trailer that announced the upcoming release of Glaswegian producer Rustie’s debut album ‘Glass Swords’, he’s now unveiled the first full track from it. Having received its first play on Annie Mac’s Radio 1 show last Friday night, the track is now up on SoundCloud for all to hear.
Immediately engaging from the first burst, its vocal sample, ‘All Nite’, is a supremely funky track that takes you through three minutes of sonic landscaping, rising up over layered synth hooks and dipping down into pockets of screaming bass. Coupled with that taste of the title track we’ve already had, it suggests that ‘Glass Swords’ will be more than able to stand out in a year of strong electronic albums.
Released through Warp on 10 Oct, the album will get not one but two launch parties, the first at XOYO in London on 1 Oct, followed by a second at Stereo on Glasgow on 14 Oct.
