Glasgow’s Rustie returns this Summer with second album Green Language, a follow-up to 2011’s highly lauded ‘Glass Swords’.
A development and testament to his true passions and influences, Raptor is a high energy instrumental that showcases Rustie’s signature sound at new found heights.
The album was written and recorded at 4am to the sound of birdsong in a remote location in his native scotland, influenced by nature, birds and sunrise. ‘Green Language’ features Danny Brown, D Double E and Redinho The tracks are expansive and expressive compositions inspired by post-rock bands, such as ‘Godspeed You! Black Emperor’ and ‘My Bloody Valentine’, trance and the Glasgow electronic scene he helped to mould.
The title ‘Green Language’ has different meanings in Norse medieval literature, Renaissance magic and ancient mythology, and many considered it the key to perfect knowledge. For Rustie, it echoes his attitude towards music, too. “It’s a language that’s non-dualistic, that speaks to you directly to your emotions without the mind interfering with the message,” he explains. “And music is like that for me.”
