“Severance” is the third album by Vancouver post-rock solo artist Glaswegians. It will be released for free on Bandcamp and all major streaming services on April 7, 2017. This album is self recorded and features a huge variety of instruments (listed below). Unlike the lush, textured music on previous album “Cape Lazo”, this album is darker and less predictable.

“Severance” points towards a direction of anxiety and loneliness, in moments like the frantic “Orwellian” intro or the bleak ambience in “Duress”. This album aims to be a constantly engaging and energetic 64 minutes of intricate instrumental music.

Songs
1 – Orwellian – 17:41
: A diverse suite of anxious strings, quiet jazz, densely layered clarinets, and cathartic post-rock.
2 – Brobdingnag – 13:10
: This upbeat track explores influences of folk music, African percussion, and modal jazz.
3 – Duress – 14:44
: Moments of dreamy Reich-inspired minimalism creep towards darkness.

: A positive resolution in contrast to the tracks before.
