john roberts: glass eights 

2012 repress; gatefold 2LP version. This is the highly-anticipated debut album from American electronic artist John Roberts. With its contemplative instrumental weave, Glass Eights asks broader cultural questions about the psychological function of music. Echoes of influence can be found in The Smiths' self-deprecating charm of the tragic, the muted, off-key eroticism of Bonnie "Prince" Billy, and the introverted house music of early '80s Chicago.
