"So on this little record, Dead Rider speculatively examine potential futures, Black Mirror-style! On the A, they consider the late night thoughts of the insomniac, as he contemplates the endless parade of humanity who've passed through the very room in which he's trying fruitlessly to sleep. How many of them were there? They who laid in this exact spot? Stared up at that exact crack? The room is empty now -- or is it full of the spirits that keep echoing out from the shadows in the corners? Is that the doorknob... slowly turning? As sheets of black guitar reign all around, these are the thoughts you might have -- when you are facing 'New End.' The B-side features the post-apocalyptic B-boy trying to fight off boredom and a bellyache. And that's enough said -- the collapse of civilization has left only broken beats, hot magnetic pulses of rhythm and scraps of raps. It can get a bit 'Uncomfy.'"

"The goal for Dead Rider, always: super-heavy, super-driving, more 'up' moments than ever before. An album experience; listening, you're put through some changes. Illusions radiating out from the real. You're rocked into submission, but asked to participate on the listening level. Rebuilt, regrooved, with favorable upgrades. Chills On Glass moves forward in this tradition, juxtaposing high and low values -- serious playing, danceablity, controlled-outcomes experimentation, don't-givea- fuck rad-itude. Shocks don't surprise the band -- it was the effect that they were looking for, just what the song needed. All the sounds in the songs -- the shouts, croons and whispers -- draw you into the fantasy of Dead Rider, the spectacle of a night on the town, gliding through the darkness while thrust up, out of the limousine's sunroof. Scribble, confetti and other sonic details rain down like snow, providing an exquisite dressing for thick and thrashing rhythms and expertly maneuvered tight corners. Todd Rittmann, infamous from his daze in U.S. Maple, is a guitar warrior with intensive craft at his fingertips."
