Glixen

Arriving as a standout group in the current American shoegaze renaissance, Phoenix four-piece Glixen transcend all expectations of what the genre should currently look and sound like. The band creates a profoundly heavy sonic experience with their music, paying respects to their predecessors but resulting in something completely modern. An amalgamation of influences like Björk, My Bloody Valentine, Godflesh, t.A.T.u, and Hum, their sound crawls with intensity and introspection to contrast lead singer Aislinn Ritchie’s lulling vocals.



Glixen recently released their sophomore EP, quiet pleasures. Across five songs, the Phoenix shoegazers combine syrupy vocals, heartfelt lyricism and humming riffs to deliver an emotional and reverb-drenched EP. quiet pleasures was produced by Sonny DiPerri (DIIV, My Bloody Valentine), mastered by Dave Cooley (Paramore, Rancid) and recorded at Pale Moon Ranch in Juniper Hills, CA.
