    Noveller is the pseudonym of Sarah Lipstate, a very atmospheric musician from NYC. She should definitely try at film scores for she has a great gift at expressing emotions with intrumental compositions. Glacial Glow suggests some frosty music but in fact is full of warmth. The opening Entering is a perfect introduction to Novellerâ

    Never merely texture, just noise or dumb repetition, but always, instead, living and intelligent music. [Nov 2011, p.63]

    On Glacial Glow, flurries of compositional details accentuate a reassuring aesthetic, inviting us seamlessly into her world.

    The second half of the album is a little bit less direct in its approach, leaning more on the natural beauty of Lipstate's sonics rather than pronounced melody, but there's plenty of detail to turn over here as well.
