Escalate: “To increase rapidly, to make something more serious or greater. A statement of intent, a
reflection of everything around us.”
So goes the title, and the inherent energy – the interior, burning fire – of the fiercely thrilling debut album from Glasgow’s VLURE, due to be released on 26th September. In April, the five piece - Hamish Hutcheson, Alex Pearson, Conor Goldie. Niall Goldie and Carlo Kriekaard - released their first new music in over a year, in the form of ‘Better Days’, now revealed to be the first taste of their long awaited debut album. Co-produced by Conor and Manni Dee (Daniel Avery & HAAi) and with features from Bobby Gillespie, PSweatpants and Gaïa, ‘Escalate’ is a 13-track collection that is the proudly, loudly, avowedly now sound of VLURE’s hometown. The thrills and spills of Glasgow – its daylight and its nightlife and its afterparties – provide the pulse and heartbeat of Escalate.
“It’s for Glasgow. It’s for you, and your mates. It’s for every mad night and every moment when time stood still. Hold it close. Let it escalate.”
Powered by their signature intense mix of Logic/Ableton-engineered (and analogue) electronics and live drums/guitars, band member/producer Conor Goldie has teamed up with revered underground techno and club producer/artist Manni Dee (Daniel Avery & HAAi) on co-production duties, the band are here to deliver on a reputation as the most dynamic sound of young Scotland. Or, to paraphrase the mantric lyrics powering Escalate’s hammering headrush of an opening track: take it or leave it, VLURE want it euphoric.
