2025 confronted us with a plethora of things none of us had on our bingo cards, but a London rapper/singer walking the tightrope on beats that sound like they were cooked up by Clams Casino or Forest Swords and then got the Mica Levi treatment seems like one of the unlikelier things to happen in this godforsaken year. To be clear, Like A Ribbon: Three EPs is indeed little more than a collection of, er, the three EPs that John Glacier has released through Young since early 2024, but the whole shebang nevertheless sounds like a coherent album, the kind of unified, self-confident statement by an artist who still has a lot more to say. Looking forward to that.
