John Glacier's debut album, SHILOH: Lost For Words, is a deeply personal and intimate collection of tracks that showcase her unique blend of experimental hip hop and confessional storytelling. Released on 30 July 2021 via PLZ Make It Ruins, this 12-track album is a masterclass in atmospheric soundscapes and lyrical vulnerability.
With executive production from acclaimed DJ and artist Vegyn, SHILOH: Lost For Words is a sonically stunning album that defies easy categorisation. From the opening notes of "If Anything" to the closing bars of "No More Left Like It's Death", John Glacier's dictaphone raps weave a spell of quiet introspection, laying bare her innermost thoughts and feelings with unflinching honesty.
Throughout the album's 25-minute runtime, John Glacier's writing proves to be both deeply personal and universally relatable, tackling themes of identity, emotion, and self-discovery with a refreshing lack of obliqueness. The result is an album that feels both deeply human and utterly innovative, pushing the boundaries of what hip hop can say and do.
With its glitchy, abstract beats and John Glacier's softly spoken vocals, SHILOH: Lost For Words is an album that rewards close listening and reflection. It's a record that will appeal to fans of experimental hip hop and electronic music, as well as anyone looking for a genuinely innovative and emotionally resonant listening experience.
