Glyph (album)

Glyph is an album released by Floater in May 1995. Engineered and mixed by the Grammy-nominated Drew Canulette (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Neil Young).^[1] Glyph received a preliminary Grammy nomination in the category of Best Alternative Performance. The album was initially intended to be an EP featuring leftover songs that never made it onto the Sink album. Later, though, additional tracks were added, blending the entire album into one complete, seamless audio experience. The hit single is "The Sad Ballad of Danny Boy" which received national radio play on Z Rock stations.^[2] The album is also the first time that Peter Cornett debuted a track featuring his vocals. Bottle would not be his last either, as he again appeared on the Acoustics album. Two covers of Glyph exist: the first cover, which had a very limited release, has the same artwork but the fonts appear to be a white Arial. The second cover, which is the most common, has a yellow/gold font and shows an Egyptian hieroglyph which represents rejoicing, support, or exaltation.
