Cory Miller Discovered via the New and notable feed. Just what I was looking for with some new post-metal/post-rock sound. Fully instrumental and atmospheric sound similar to Pelican/Russian Circles/and The Eye of Every Storm era Neurosis. Can't wait to hear more from them. Favorite track: Until We Dissolve.

Stéphane Gallay Avec son ambiance plombée traversée par quelques rares rayons de lumière, Unborn est un EP intéressant, voire très bon Favorite track: Precipice.

about

Working with perfectionist producer and audio engineer Sam Hunt out in McKinney, Texas, Glasir is a project that consists of longtime collaborators and enigmatic sonic seekers Nate Ferguson on bass, Conner McKibbin on guitar and Austin Vanbebber on drums. Together they have crafted a heavy siege cannon, one that draws in post-rock, ambient doom and psychedelic rock, and is masterfully loaded with enough black blasting powder to fire relentlessly at all levels.

It took only a few minutes to realize that we were listening to greatness. Glasir’s music is as resplendent as the gleaming tree from which they have taken their name, a tree glorified by gods and men as the most beautiful and wondrous of them all. Unborn is as loud as a thunderous grey cloud and as clear as a heavenly stream.

There are moments when one resigns to the fatality of life, the grief that takes over after great loss, the impotency felt after withering in the dust of failed pretensions, when dreams have burned down to cinders, when vision once clear and formidable is left blurred and shortsighted and the body too frail to sustain a mortal blow. Unborn conjures a bleak and lonely existence, when one loses his heart and falls prey to the recklessness of despair, peers deep into the darkness and dares to dream dreams that no mortal should ever dream.

The end however, has not yet come. From the all-consuming sadness there is a glimmer of hope. This Dallas trio reveals the everlasting light that transforms all it touches into riches of life and gives us the ability to soar the skies. Glasir have become the glorified tree. Unborn is magnificent and snuffs out all that we have heard this year in a heartbeat.
-Elusive Sound

"Unborn" hits hard on both the ears and the heart, blending sincerity, musical expertise and intelligence.
-Mark Valentino, Heavy Blog Is Heavy

An EP consisiting of only three tracks with a running time of 23 minutes has easily made it‘s way into our Best Of lists.
-Post-Rock Essentials

Il est parfois de petits disques qui font de très gros effets. Du haut de ses trois pièces, « Unborn », premier EP du trio texan Glasir, m’a ainsi retourné les tympans. Un petit disque réussi et ébouriffant à souhait. A écouter volume à fond.
-Totoromoon

The songs on Unborn display the band’s ability to create nuanced and textured tracks with incredible dynamic range. Can’t wait to hear this record on vinyl!
-Black Box Bob, Live Eye TV

Glasir has bestowed upon us in “Unborn” the first of hopefully many golden leaves to come. Check it out and revel in its commanding, devastating glory.
-David Zeidler, Arctic Drones
