Aptly titled, ‘Welcome’ is the debut album from Don Glori. A kaleidoscopic free dive into his world, featuring 8 recordings of revolving jazz, Brazilian, soul and funk inspired compositions spinning together and blurring into a genre bending slew of new music.

There is an intangible element of joy and connection sitting just outside the grasp of description or definition that can be felt throughout this album. Each song on this album captures the spirit and irrepressible energy that underpins the core of the Don Glori project. Imperfections are captured along with the moments of transcendence. Layers of vocal harmonies oscillate next to pulsating samba rhythms while spiritual overtones permeate throughout. Congas and percussion form a holy union with the drum kit, co-piloted by Don Glori’s own bass lines. Saxophones, horns and flutes flutter in between the musical canyons carved out by the piano and vibraphone. When you press all of these forces together you can start to feel the intangible; the intrinsic human elements existing in the creases. The sweat, excitement and willingness of each musician to dedicate their spirit and take risks on every track of this album.

Don Glori 'Welcome' LP is out Friday, October 14 via Bedroom Suck Records / Cargo UK / Dispatch Dept. (North America).

Brick and concrete are towering high above, the sun shines bright through the smog, melting brain cells. The burns are leaving empty spaces, placed silence. Sounds seem like hallucinations. Yet the body is moving by itself, finding rhythms to dance to in the glitches and cracks hammering through the system.

New York based Thaniil Alexandros creates a soundtrack for the rising summer heat, as rbchmbrs. An alias appearing on the Washington label 1432 R, on credits of artists like Sir E.U, Theravada or MIKE.

What sounds like long lost dubplate productions played with skips, dust and warps gathered through years of concealment, turns out to be a selection of recently created pieces leaving room for a number of unexpected turns.

Loud and abrasive drum patterns changing speed, variating throughout eleven tracks. Voices are chiming in, distorted breaks are opening up to a jazz variation, a pleasant melody, a song.

Recorded between April 2016 & August 2018 in New York City, Washington DC & Piraeus GR

Dubbed to cassette June 2019 in Voorburg NL

All tracks written and produced by Thaniil Alexandros (@rbchmbrs)
