Hidden Shoal is excited to announce the release of ‘Bloodlust’, the first single lifted from Glanko‘s forthcoming release,”V”. The track is available to stream on SoundCloud ahead of the album’s release on May 5th, 2025. The music of Glanko is available to license for use in film, tv, games, web etc via Hidden Shoal.
Glanko’s fifth album,V, represents a significant shift in the artist’s sound. Over the course of nine tracks, the album explores themes of introspection, conscience, abandonment and hope. Musically, Glanko pushes towards more aggressive sounds than in previous works, embracing industrial and techno elements, layered with electric guitar, synths and ambient atmospheres. The album includes two vocal tracks along with a collaboration with Italian composer Gianvito Novielli.
Italian producer Glanko creates widescreen electronica that deserves to be played loud. Canyon-deep beatscapes are shot through with mesmerising synth melodies, wraithed in breathy atmospherics that send a shiver up the spine. Rarely is such intensity and power coupled with a lightness of touch, allowing tracks to seamlessly evolve into dizzying cinematic scenes.
