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. In 2024, the band released “lust,” “foreversoon,” and “sick silent” beginning to preview what the upcoming Sonny DiPerri (My Bloody Valentine, DIIV) produced "quiet pleasures" EP will sound like. Glixen has had a massive 2024! From playing SXSW and Treefort Festival to supporting genre stalwarts like Interpol, DIIV, Nothing., Tanukichan, Turnover and Glare, Glitterer, Softcult and Fish Narc, they’ve played to packed crowds across the United States. The run continues in 2025 with their first ever headlining North American tour with support from contemporaries she’s green and Suzy Clue. "A crucial contributor to the ongoing American shoegaze renaissance." - STEREOGUM “Listening to the guitars is akin to the feeling of being squeezed from above, a slow dreamlike compression.” - THE FADER “Towering, sensual shoegaze.” - ALTERNATIVE PRESS
