Album Notes

"Water Glyphs" is the sophomore EP from Chicago's Conductive Alliance. Its intricate sound collage and experimental pop arrangements expand on the minimalist improvised approach found in the band's earlier incarnation. Their broadened palette incorporates spiraling tape loops, fizzing electronics, ethnic percussion, and musical saw.

Tracking was split between Steve Albini's Electrical Audio Studios and Shape Shoppe. The EP was engineered and mixed by Griffin Rodriguez, who has worked previously with Icy Demons, Beirut, Man Man, and Akron/ Family. Recording to tape, the band captured the cavernous drum sound and instrumental warmth of Electrical Audio's Studio B.
