Glaas - Qualm

Re­li­able qual­i­ty shit from the Berlin post punk scene, once again fea­tur­ing some of the usu­al sus­pects known from groups such as Use­less Eaters, Id­io­ta Civl­iz­zat­to, Clock Of Time, Ex­it Group… and boy does it sound like it, es­pe­cial­ly with re­gards to the lat­ter two bands, strik­ing a sleep­walk­ing bal­ance be­tween clas­sic death rock flour­ish­es, tight-ass grooves and noisy tex­tures. Though not ex­act­ly push­ing the bound­aries of the worn-in, dis­tinc­tive Berlin sound, they nonethe­less man­age to stray just far enough from their son­ic com­fort zones to keep things fresh and in­ter­est­ing while even in their most con­ven­tion­al mo­ments, their vig­or­ous thrust nev­er fails to elec­tri­fy.
