The Blank Gloss songs Weedless Hook" and "The Replacement Wheel" are featured on the Pop Ambient 2024 compilation. "Weedless Hook" is a gentle, aqueous piece filled with lush guitar, synthesizer swells, and a yearning piano refrain while "The Replacement Wheel" is is built around a warm guitar phrase and delay-soaked synthesizer notes. Both display some of the most pleasant aspects of Blank Gloss.

Cornered

March 17, 2023
Kompakt Records
Available HERE

Cornered is an album that oscillates between lush beauty and spare melancholy. It follows from their 2021 debut for Kompakt, Melt, an album that saw them aligned, loosely, with the cosmic pastorale of the ‘ambient Americana’ movement. Cornered feels like a significant step forward, though – by peeling back the layers of their music, they’ve revealed both its restful core and its solemn gravitas. It is unendingly lovely, but with something disquieting at its centre.

The Blank Gloss songs "Coiling" and "Anticlimbers" are featured on the Pop Ambient 2022 compilation. "Coiling" is a slow-building, bright, airy piece driven by guitar and synthesizer while "Anticlimbers" is a more minimal, yearning type of ambient drift. Together they display two different but complimentary sides of Blank Gloss.

Available HERE

With Melt, Blank Gloss make a heavy contribution to Kompakt’s ongoing explorations of the hundreds of hues of Pop Ambience. A lush dream of an album, it’s a remarkable index of the gilded eternities that you can magic from a reduced tonal palette: glistening guitars, ruminative piano, warps and weaves of subtle drone and hum.

The Blank Gloss song "Of A Vessel" is featured on the Pop Ambient 2021 compilation. It is music that’s "featherlight and luscious, the muted chime of a guitar over here, the steady hum of a palatial drone over there; everything in its right place, and nothing overdone."
