Ambient Artist Diamond Gloss Releases His Debut Album on Fluttery Records
Diamond Gloss’ debut album Bears is released by Fluttery Records. He incorporates elements of modern classical, electronica, idm, ambient, and post-rock music with live instrumentation.
New York, NY, January 28, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Multi-instrumentalist Gonçalo Pereira, under the alias Diamond Gloss is a young ambient artist from Lisbon who has just released his album on Fluttery Records (flutteryrecords.com). The debut album is called Bears. The album is getting good reviews.
On a review on Central Michigan Life, the album is mentioned with these sentences: “It’s hard to describe through words alone how this transition is accomplished but this sound is strong and striking when experienced. Songs like “Walnut and Trees Tables” invoke the thought of taking a nap in a kindergarten music room as an autumn evening breeze chills the air outside; it’s peaceful, serene, and calming. Regardless of what type of music fan a person is, when “Bears” stands on its own it is a beautifully crafted escape through a trail that post-rock and ambient IDM do not normally travel down. With its innocent and emotional pull, it is an easy recommendation, even if this may not be your musical cup of tea.”
Swedish music website Slave State reviews this album too. “Bears is a journey into a dream world you are allowed to visit- at least, with musical help - with repetitive chunks of dark drones, unique mixes by Pereira, mediocre noise music with backwards samples which are far beyond being ordinary with the nice glockenspiels. All in all, "Bears" about everything I need for the next few months. But are you able to sit still with wide open minds for a good hour? I dare to promise to "Bears" will reward you richly!”
His influences travels among modern composers such as Arvo Pärt and Henryk Górecki, the ambient experiments of Brian Eno or his peers Autechre, Hammock, Sigur Rós, Helios and Múm. Pianos, micro-beats, effects-treated guitars, music-boxes, lo-fi strings arrangements and other acoustic instruments such as glockenspiels are the vehicles that shape this carefully produced and layered, non-linear quest. His sound and melodies incorporate elements of modern classical, electronica, idm, ambient, and post-rock music with live instrumentation.
The album is available on Fluttery Records, the label entitles itself as "New home of Post-rock, Ambient, Experimental, Electronic, Modern Classical music". Diamond Gloss’ Bears is also available on major download stores like iTunes, Napster, AmazonMP3 and eMusic.
