OVERVIEW: Devotion Implosion is the supersonic, ethereal album from American shoegazers Gliss. Gliss has compressed guitars and lured distraction and distortion into their midst to create a hazy morning- after trip.  This blissfully fractured trio is so integrated in their roles that they frequently change instruments in their gigs and recordings.  The album was produced by Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode, Grizzly Bear, Goldfrapp, Interpol, Liars) and mixed by Greg Calbi (Metric, The Hold Steady, Anthony and the Johnsons).
 
Tracks have the fractured brutality of My Bloody Valentine versus the foggy beauty of Goldfrapp and Lush.  When Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan first caught Gliss in their early beginnings, he took them on his European tour though the band had barely left L.A.  Such a seductive sound pulls in so many different vibes.  Think Krautrock meets The Liars.  The buzzy bass psychocandy evokes a bruised Velvet Underground wrapped in a stutter-cool shell.
