Glimmer

Listen: “Been Down” / “Slow Saturday” / “Dissolve”

Formed in the spring of 2023, New York-based grungy shoegazers Glimmer have had a busy start: they spent their first two years releasing a series of well-received singles (to praise from NPR, Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, and CREEM Magazine), landing on official Spotify playlists, and playing countless live shows in both the US and Europe. With the upcoming release of their debut LP on October 3rd, the band is aiming to prove that not only can they produce heavy-hitting, hook-filled singles, but that their softer, dreamier soundscapes leave just as much of an impression.

Recorded in Brooklyn and mastered by Will Yip (Turnstile, Superheaven), Glimmer’s new album, Get Weak, seamlessly transitions from pop-leaning singles like “Dissolve” and “Sorrow Again” to propulsive, fuzzed-out alt-rock anthems (“Been Down”) and hazy, etherial ballads (“Bloom.”) With elements of grunge, shoegaze, and dream pop, the album hits on a certain ‘90s nostalgia while still managing to sound fresh and modern.

Glimmer is Jeff Moore (vocals/guitar), Jaye Moore (drums), Johnny Nicholls (guitar), and Kevin Dobbins (bass.)
