Carey, Sylvan Esso, Low, and Policia. I flew out to Santa Fe, NM where he lives and spent a week stealing grocery carts and buying up all the rubber cement in town to set things on fire with. &nbsp;We pumped over 30 gallons of fake blood out of a tube discreetly placed in my sleeve to create the blood effects.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-s5Oaq1N6NY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about the new project and moniker, Kozel said: \u201c<em>My goal was, primarily, to make music for myself again, after many years of producing for other people. Secondly, I wanted to \u00a0create a mixture of styles and genres that hadn\u2019t been heard before. I challenged myself to use high BPMs between 130-190. Drum and bass, mixed with My Bloody Valentine was sort of the guiding light of the project, but I also wanted every song to have surprising twists and turns.<\/em>\u201d\u00a0<br><br>Continuing, Elliott stated \u201c<em>My friend Pat from\u00a0ill peach\u00a0asked me to work on a song of theirs that was all vocals and synths with no drums, and I started experimenting with sampling the track over breakbeats and heavy guitars. \u00a0After it worked well on \u201cDrumjoy,\u201d which was the first song I made for the project, I decided to create limitations for the project to work within. Every song had to incorporate high speed drum breaks, fuzz guitars and a mutation of this ill peach sample. \u00a0I have been so used to producing for so many different artists in so many styles, it\u2019s been hard for me to stick to an aesthetic in the past, so it was important for me to build a world of sounds for the project that would be cohesive.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Gloomer&nbsp;is the new, warpspeed shoegaze project from Los Angeles-based producer \/ mastermind&nbsp;Elliott Kozel.
