Gliss Riffer is the fourth studio album by American electronic musician Dan Deacon.
The album's title is combination of the common music term "Gliss", short for glissando, and riffer, "one who plays sick riffs".
Deacon created the album in green rooms and hotels, and on days off used studios to track vocals or mix.
Deacon states, "When a studio couldn't be found, I dismantled a hotel bathroom, sealing the vents with towels and using all the bedding to turn it into a control room."
While creating the album, Deacon discovered a newfound appreciation for his voice after going through an extended bout of laryngitis.
