Phoenix Shoegaze band Glixen have announced their second EP, quiet pleasures, arriving February 21, 2025 digitally via AWAL and on vinyl via Wichita Recordings. They have previewed the EP with the single, “lick the star.”
Bandleader Aislinn Ritchie says:
This song is special, it begins with a mellow sonic bath of an intro and explodes into a whirling wall of sound and melody. Also, we are excited to announce our first full US headline tour. This is going to be a very busy and fun year for us!
This year, the band released “lust,” “foreversoon,” and “sick silent” beginning to preview what the upcoming Sonny DiPerri (My Bloody Valentine, DIIV) produced EP would sound like.
Glixen has had a massive year of touring and the run continues next year with their first ever headlining North American tour with support from contemporaries she’s green and Suzy Clue and a first-time appearance at Coachella.
