Glassio's "The Imposter" Traces Unraveling and Rebuilding - KALTBLUT Magazine

"Something brilliant happens when you can feel the weight that the artists carried to get to an album. The late nights. The wrong turns. The moment they realise they've been performing a version of themselves for so long, they're not sure what's left underneath. 's third album, 'The Imposter,' is that kind of epiphany pressed into a record."

"'The Imposter' feels more like a gentle detonation, a controlled demolition of whatever 'Glassio' was supposed to be, so something more honest could rise from the rubble. A transatlantic move from New York to London, paired with the early stages of sobriety, created the kind of upheaval that either breaks you or forces you to confront what is truly essential."

"Sonically, it's a woven thing. Shoegaze drift sits next to early-2000s electronica, psychedelic folk bleeds into dream-pop, and somehow none of it feels like genre tourism. It feels like someone who's been collecting sounds his whole life, finally letting them all talk to each other in an ambience curated by his particular perception of each."

Glassio's third album 'The Imposter' represents a transformative artistic statement born from significant life upheaval. A move from New York to London combined with early sobriety created circumstances forcing confrontation with essential truths. The album traces unravelling and rebuilding across 13 tracks with uncomfortable intimacy. Sonically diverse, it blends shoegaze, early-2000s electronica, psychedelic folk, and dream-pop without feeling derivative. The production reflects someone integrating lifetime sound influences through personal perception. Opening tracks establish disorientation that permeates the record, exploring themes of fractured identity and reconstruction with vulnerability exceeding previous work.
