Glixen is a shoegaze band from Phoenix, Arizona whose sound consists of tender melodies encased inside chrome walls of grungy textures and heavy guitars. Founder and lead vocalist, Aislinn Ritchie, began the project in 2020 enlisting guitarist Esteban Santana, drummer Keire Johnson, and bassist Sonia Garcia. Emerging from a scene of local DIY artists, the band’s unique sound and look set them apart allowing them to perform in cities across the United States playing alongside bands like Narrow Head, Cowgirl Clue,
MSPaint, Hotline TNT, and They’re Gutting A Body of Water. She Only Said, the band’s debut EP, was released last summer through Julia’s War Records. Glixen continues to push the genre by utilizing a playful approach, incorporating ethereal pop vocals and shimmering guitars that guide you toward the feeling of true self - expression. Glixen is currently working on their sophomore EP, due for release in 2024.
