About
John Glacier makes music that feels like catching someone thinking out loud. The London rapper's debut album Like a Ribbon, released through Young in early 2025, pulls from a dizzying range of sounds: hip hop, grime, UK drill, garage, drum 'n' bass, and even post punk all show up, yet somehow it holds together. Executive produced by Kwes Darko, the record was compared by critics to the work of Dean Blunt and King Krule, and earned universal acclaim on Metacritic with a score of 87 out of 100. Glacier's vocals are the real focal point. Reviewers latched onto words like "diaristic", "deadpan", and "stream of consciousness" to describe her delivery, and noted a DIY quality to the recordings that feels entirely intentional. The album is structured in three parts, mirroring the way a ribbon unfurls, and its lyrics weave between personal reflection, nature, and the friction between the organic and the digital. Guest spots from Sampha and Eartheater add texture without taking over.
