Phoenix-based shoegaze outfit Glixen returns with their sophomore EP, quiet pleasures, due out February 21, 2025, via AWAL and Wichita Recordings. The five-track exploration of weightless melancholy and immersive noise. Following their breakout with their EP She Only Said (2023), the band has refined their dynamic blend of ethereal melodies and crushing distortion, creating an evocative and deeply textured listening experience. With influences ranging from My Bloody Valentine and Hum to Björk and Godflesh, Glixen continue to push shoegaze into modern territory, crafting soundscapes that are both cavernous and intimately emotional.
