Glasser has announced ‘crux redux’, a new remix EP that reframes and reshapes material from her album ‘crux’ through the imaginations of some of today’s most expressive electronic artists. The project launches with DJ Python’s rework, which sets the tone for a collection of expansive and radical reinterpretations. He revises ‘Knave’ with a weightless, glacial grace, slowing the original’s dynamic pulse and letting the rhythm unfold while Glasser’s hushed vocal textures float over languid beats and soft slide guitar.Across ‘crux redux’, Glasser invites a community of friends, collaborators, and peers to expand the emotional world of ‘crux’. Indonesian-American experimental pop artist Melati ESP brings a glowing, dreamlike surrealism to ‘Vine’, weaving playful rhythms and luminous melodic fragments into a fresh piece of work. Mood Hut co-founder CZ Wang extends ‘Vine’ in a different direction, offering a warm, dub-wise, analogue-forward version that leans into looseness and groove. Swedish electronic innovator Peder Mannerfelt pushes the same track into raw futurism, twisting it into a tense, industrial-leaning reconstruction built for a club environment. Composer and producer Arp transforms ‘Blush’ into a slow-unfurling, glitchy ambient landscape, rich with harmonic shimmer. Meanwhile, AASTHMA, the collaborative project of Mannerfelt and Pär Grindvik, completely reconfigures ‘Easy’, turning it into a kinetic, electrified surge that slices and reassembles Glasser’s melodies into a vivid, ecstatic crescendo.

Reflecting on the contributors, Cameron Mesirow shares; “This is a collection of friends and people I admire musically. World builders. They are all fun and funny. Every one of them likes to dance, and has made me dance at some point. I’m lucky that they listened and took me on. The good thing about remixes is that you don’t need them to be any one thing, it’s a toolbox and you just play and maybe it’s nothing like the original, or maybe it improves on it and you can’t hear the song without the new framework.”

Released in 2023 on One Little Independent Records, ‘crux’ marked Glasser’s return after a decade, offering her most emotionally open and sonically adventurous work to date. Rooted in themes of grief, rebirth, vulnerability, and creative rediscovery, the album blended experimental pop with intricate vocal arrangements and influences drawn from Celtic, Balkan, and Eastern-European folk traditions. With ‘crux redux’, that world opens outward again, each remixer taking Glasser’s compositions as raw material for new contextual, rhythmic, and atmospheric possibilities, revealing unexpected angles and hidden dimensions within the album’s original make-up.

Born in Boston and raised in the Bay Area by musician parents, Mesirow’s mother was a founding member of Human Sexual Response, a queer new wave band who performed in the late ’70s into the early ’80s. She crafted GarageBand demos that pitted her delicate, swooping vocals over sparse electronic rhythms and circular melodies that evoked avant-garde music and global folk at the same time. These tracks made their way to labels True Panther and Young Turks, which released both her albums. She self-released ‘Sextape’, an intimate project that built her production around conversations on formative sexual experiences, which was praised by fans and critics alike, before signing to One Little Independent Records, marking her next creative step.
