Biography

The Glimmer Room's second album release ‘Grey Mirrors’ is available now from all good vendors via A-Frame Media. A laid back affair, drawing influences from ambient works such as The KLF’s Chill Out and John Foxx’s Cathedral Oceans, the album is based around a single piece of music. It was conceived and recorded by Andy Condon in 42 hours, and comes in at 42:24. File under "Longform Electronica". The Glimmer Room's debut long player is a slightly more conventional affair, The thirteen tracks that make up 'Tomorrow's Tuesday' evolved from chopped up breaks and beats via lush synthesiser melodies to form The Glimmer Room's trademark atmospheric, layered soundscapes. 'Tomorrow's Tuesday' was released in 2002 on seminal Sheffield electronica label Neu Harmony. The album was shaped by the soundtrack of Andy's formative years spent listening to the early pioneers of electronic music, as well as more recent influences like Underworld, Archive and Air. 'Tomorrow's Tuesday' was described by some reviewers as 'chill-out' but The Glimmer Room's music transcends the genre, drawing comparisons as diverse as Moby, Enigma and Mike Oldfield's 'Songs of Distant Earth'. 2007 will see a compilation of rare and unreleased material, available as a limited edition cd release and download, as well as completion of The Glimmer Room's as yet untitled third studio album and live performances to be announced.
