Glitterer have shared a brand-new single entitled The Same
Ordinary.
The 70-second track is taken from their upcoming album Rationale
(Ned Russin’s fourth record under the Glitterer banner, but their first record
as a full band completed by keyboardist Nicole Dao, drummer Jonas Farah and
guitarist Mike French), which is due out on February 23 via ANTI-.
Ned says that The Same Ordinary came about after he “got
lyrically ahead of myself and had to rearrange the song to make it fit”.
“Finally,” he says, “I just decided to try and throw in abbreviated measure
at the end of the phrase, like a little tag. After all, I wanted to keep the
lyrics, which analyse how a pursuit of purpose is at times monotonous and maybe
inescapable even if we are critical of it, in fact… I think it’s the element of
the song that makes the whole thing work, a kind of harsh turn that also oddly
acts as forward propulsion.”
