Real name and age unknown, John Glacier delights and thrives in mystery. The London rapper calls herself a poet before anything else. Just a handful of years after teaching herself GarageBand and Logic, she finds herself modelling for Burberry and sharing a record label with FKA Twigs and the xx. Their underground pop and left-field electronica infiltrates John Glacier’s debut album Like A Ribbon, which also nods to UK garage, grime, and drum’n’bass, as well as a fragmentary style that marries stream-of-consciousness rap with incanted phrases — enough movement and colour to kindle plenty of cult intrigue.
