There’s no self-indulgence in Severance, just pure-hearted and joyous music. Instrumental prog rock albums, especially those of such length, often fall victim to bloatedness or act as a vessel of autofellatio. Severance is 65 minutes of progressive, folk and post-rock excellence that puts most professional artists’ work from this year to shame.
Vancouver-based artist Glaswegians is one of those rarities, with 2017’s Severancebeing better than an underground independent release has any right to be. Independent Bandcamp artists – they can be quite the unassuming species, can’t they? Amongst the layers of aspiring lo-fi bedroom artists waves of opportunists jumping on the vaporwave memewagon and a scattering of experimental oddities, there is gold to be panned.
