Portland’s Glitterfox have announced their debut full-length album, decoder, due out August 22, 2025 on Jealous Butcher Records. The band is helmed by frontperson Solange Igoa (they/ them) and guitarist Andrea Walker (they/them) who, before recently splitting up amicably, were a couple for 12 years, six of them married. Their musical connection continues.

Lead single “Wildfires” is out now and is “a celebration of queer romance.”

Igoa says of the duo’s connection:

When I’m singing Andrea songs, I can feel the emotions that they were feeling — we’re experiencing this life together, you know?

Walker adds:

I think about our connection musically. And it’s like, yeah, Solange is my voice.

decoder synthesizes the two songwriters’ Garage Rock, New Wave, southern Americana and Dance music influences.

Glitterfox formed in Long Beach, CA back in 2012 and have released a several singles and EPs, some through Kill Rock Stars. Along the way, they relocated to their current hometown of Portland, Oregon, where they met Chris Funk (of The Decemberists) who is now their manager and producer.
