Glasser - Mirrorage

"This synth siren sounds like a weirder and more credible version of Enya" (Guardian)

Glasser is the recording and stage name of American singer-songwriter Cameron Mesirow.

Mesirow's name – her stage one anyway – was inspired by "a midnight vision of a figure hovering over water". Her surname comes from her dad, currently a member of the Blue Man Group. Her first name comes from her mum, who isn't exactly a regular nine-to-fiver either. Casey Cameron first fronted an all-kazoo outfit called Kazoondheit in the 70s before forming new wave band Human Sexual Response who, apart from the classic daytime-radio staple Butt Fuck, had a minor hit in 1980 with Jackie Onassis.

So now, Mesirow has become a performer herself and she's already toured with the xx and Jónsi of Sigur Ros. Sometimes she sounds like an electronic Joni Mitchell, other times her airy voice combined with glacial keyboard textures makes her seem like a slightly more credible Enya. If anything, she's like a weird version of Enya.

Her debut album Ring has been released on September 28.
