Ahead of the release of the quiet pleasures EP, arriving on February 21 via AWAL and Wichita Recordings, Glixen has unveiled the towering new single “All Tied Up.” “‘all tied up’ is about feeling completely consumed by someone,” vocalist Aislinn Ritchie shares. “We definitely wanted the song to feel enveloping.
