Gliss Riffer is the seventh studio album by American electronic musician Dan Deacon. It was released on February 25, 2015, on Domino Records.
Contents
Background
The album's title is combination of the common music term "Gliss", short for glissando, and riffer, "one who plays sick riffs". In an interview with NPR, Deacon said: "It's something that auto-correct wants to make sure that no one can actually type: I've seen "Glass Rafter," "Gloss Dripper." But I kind of like the idea of the Internet trying to change the name of my record. I feel like it really speaks to the age we live in, where there's such a homogeny of technology that you try to write something down, it instantly changes and no one even notices."[8]
While previous efforts Bromst and America utilized outside production from Chester Endersby Gwazda, Gliss Riffer marks Deacon's first production process entirely solo. [9]
Recording
The album marks the debut use of Moog's analog synth, the Sub 37.[10]
Reception
The album has received a number of accolades. Consequence of Sound, Under the Radar, and Gigwise named Gliss Riffer the 15th,[11] 41st,[12] and 53rd [13] best album of 2015, respectively.
