"Deep Glens Unveils 'Carver' Album on September 17"
Deep Glens, the electronic project of Brett Bullion, is set to make waves with the release of his new album ‘Carver,’ coming out on September 17. Ahead of this highly anticipated drop, he has unveiled the single ‘Music Camp with the Kid from Monticello.’ If you’re a fan of Boards of Canada or Autechre, this album promises to deliver captivating sonic landscapes that are both innovative and reflective.
‘Music Camp with the Kid from Monticello’ exemplifies Deep Glens’ distinctive sound—an eclectic mix of rolling soundscapes and broken beats. This track follows his earlier release ‘Ok Ak,’ which earned praise from Paste Magazine for its ability to create a “fragmented but beautiful” auditory experience. With this latest single, Bullion draws inspiration from a formative summer music camp experience, recounting a moment that sparked curiosity and connection through music.
The production process of ‘Carver’ marks a shift for Deep Glens, incorporating a ‘tape-based approach’. Through this method, Bullion creates rhythmic and harmonic loops from analog tape, reshaping them through engaging studio techniques. This hands-on approach not only adds depth and texture to his creations but also highlights the organic essence of music-making itself. With every layer, he draws on personal experiences that resonate deeply, addressing themes of aging, uncertainty, and the innate human impulse to generate creativity.
Deep Glens’ debut album, ‘Earn Grips,’ showcased his ability to blur the lines between composition and performance by utilizing custom-built software environments. With ‘Carver’, he ventures deeper into the realms of experimental electronic music, echoing the influence of greats like Boards of Canada and Oneohtrix Point Never. Bullion’s robust background as a sound engineer—having worked with artists across various genres—enhances his unique approach, injecting a rich variety of sound into his projects.
The anticipation for ‘Carver’ is not limited to just an album release; Deep Glens will also be hitting the road for a series of live performances. His tour kicks off in Austin, TX, on September 12 with additional dates spanning across cities like Minneapolis, NYC, and San Francisco. Fans can expect an intimate craft of sound that stems from both creative boundaries and the spontaneous accidents that occur within them.
For those keen to explore this innovative soundscape, ‘Music Camp with the Kid from Monticello’ is available now for streaming and purchase. Be sure to add ‘Carver’ to your playlist upon release; it promises to be a significant addition to the electronic music landscape, encapsulating a reflective and experimental spirit.
