***Glitterer, the Washington, D.C., post-hardcore band, has a new record called erer. But after attempting to pronounce that quasi-eponymous title, and upon noticing that the 12” is out on a label called Purple Circle, you’ll probably just start referring to it—in your head, out loud to your friends—as the purple one.The new record, this purple “erer” one, is the most ear-pleasing yet, also the most ambitious. Performed by a revamped lineup —drummer Robin Zeijlon and guitarist Colin Gorman came on board last year, joining Ned Russin (Title Fight) and keyboardist Nicole Dao—and recorded by the prolific producer/engineer Arthur Rizk, who has worked on every Glitterer record since 2019, Glitterererer boasts a thunderous Albini boom, a stereo spectrum that feels 10 miles wide, with floating and darting keyboard lines, impossibly sturdy-yet-subtle drumming, and soaring multi-tracked guitar leads. Pressed on red vinyl.
