Combining their soaring shoegaze with heavy breakdowns, Glixen has released their somber new single, “Sick Silent.” “We recorded ‘sick silent’ with Sonny Diperri in Juniper Hills, CA,” vocalist Aislinn Ritchie shares. “‘sick silent’ is like a meadow in a dark forest, evoking feelings of temporality. There are currents of distortion and reverse reverb enveloped in adrenaline-inducing percussion and hard-hitting bass lines with vocals that shine through piercing layers of guitars, giving a glimpse of the world that Glixen lives in.” The encompassing soundscape unleashes a torrent of distorted riffs paired with delicate vocals that evoke a profound sense of torment… Read more »

After releasing their track “Death Grip” in June, Something Corporate and Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness have shared a dazzling live music video for the track from Pier 17. McMahon says of the new track, “I honestly didn’t expect to be releasing new music this year. I’ve lived on the write, record, release, tour hamster wheel for a long time and decided after the last album I would do things differently.
