Phoenix shoegazers Glixen put out their debut EP She Only Said last summer, and they’re gearing up to release their sophomore EP this year. Title and release date are TBA, but they’ve just shared its first single, “foreversoon,” and it feels like a clear step forward. It’s heavier and sludgier than the first EP, but just as sweetly melodic. Vocalist Aislinn Ritchie says:
“foreversoon” represents blissful moments of new love and intimacy. The song harnesses melancholy chords, layered with fuzzy red melodies and gliding guitars that pull you in deeper. I wanted my lyrics to feel like a conversation that expresses my infatuation and sensuality. Time is relentless and memories are fleeting, this song encapsulates those emotions forever.
GLixen also have a bunch of tour dates coming up, including SXSW and shows supporting Interpol, Glitterer, Softcult, and Fish Narc. The run with Glitterer is in support of Glitterer’s upcoming album Rationale, and that hits Brooklyn on March 8 at The Meadows with Casey Sylvan. All dates are listed below.
