Shoegaze icons Glixen just unleashed a new song, “Unwind,” ahead of a massive international tour run beginning in March. Preceded by “medicine bow” and Quiet Pleasures, the new offering is an exquisite dreamscape, sonically ebbing and flowing, demanding your full attention.
Frontwoman Aislinn Ritchie shares, “‘Unwind’ is about that feeling of relief when someone comes back to you after they’ve left. It’s human nature to crave that push and pull—a drug weaned off. Blindingly hard to say no, we succumb to willful ignorance. We recorded this song in Los Angeles with Sonny Diperri producing, and it’s the first song we incorporated different instrumental elements, and it’s a glimpse into our evolution.”
