Edit history

glu is an anomaly in the Australian hip-hop scene. A founding member of the Melbourne-based absurdist rap trio BIG ASS FISH, he’s previously leant towards a comedic sound in the past. One reviewer described the group as being “Somewhere between The Mighty Boosh and TRIPLE ONE”. For his debut solo project, however, glu gives us glimpses of the darkness within his absurd exterior. ULTRAGLU’s explosive and psychedelic energy reflects the two week COVID-19 quarantine it was primarily recorded in. One moment featuring blissful atmosphere’s akin to YUNG LEAN, the next the hyper-aggression of JPEGMAFIA. It’s a distinctly Australian take on horrorcore, steeped in modern rap culture and the way we interface with the internet.
