There are such a lot of shoegaze revivalists working round nowadays that it may be onerous to maintain all these bands straight. So we’re right here to remind you that New York’s Glimmer will not be the identical as Glare, or Glixen, and even Glitterer. As an alternative, Glimmer are a gaggle whose subgenre is mostly known as “grungegaze,” and so they’ve truthfully most likely bought extra grunge in there than gaze. Particularly, they sound like a blissed-out, fuzzed-up tackle the early Foo Fighters, which seems to be fairly cool.
Final 12 months, we posted a bunch of stray Glimmer songs, all of which have titles that would plausibly be used to explain the band’s music: “Buried,” “Daydream,” “Homesick,” “So Numb.” This fall, they’ll launch their full-length debut Get Weak, and I’d not use that title to explain their music. It’s sturdy! Not weak! The band recorded the LP with Psychic TV’s Jeff Berner, and Will Yip mastered it. New single “Dissolve,” one other precisely descriptive title, all all heat and bleary hooks. Give it a pay attention beneath, and take a look at the Get Weak tracklist and Glimmer’s upcoming tour dates.
