Glixen instagram.com/glixen/ shoegaze She's Green instagram.com/shes__green shoegaze After soundcloud.com/after-band atmospheric trip-hop Glixen -from Phoenix, AZ -Phoenix, Arizona and have taken their sound coast to coast on tour in North America. As influences, lead vocalist/guitarist Aislinn Ritchie cites My Bloody Valentine, No Doubt, and T.A.T.U. In the same breath, also citing heavier acts such as HUM and My Vitriol. Ritchie founded Glixen in 2020 and later added the talents of lead guitarist Esteban Santana, drummer Keire Johnson, and bassist Sonia Garcia. Glixen released their debut EP She Only Said via Julias War Records on August 11th, 2023. The lead single Splendor sets the tone of the EP by masterfully capturing the swirling ambiance of 90s rock, ethereal pop vocals, and fuzzed out walls of guitar all wrapped up in a lacey white ribbon. She Only Said is a cathartic anthem that feels like glitter and thorns down the listeners spine. She's Green -from Minneapolis, MN -Likened to a soft summer rain, she's green is a Minneapolis-based dream-inducer composed of vocalist Zofia Smith, guitarists Liam Armstrong and Raines Lucas, bassist Teddy Nordvold, and drummer Kevin Seebeck. The band has played many shows throughout the Midwest and East Coast, sharing bills with acts such as Hotline TNT, Glixen, Friko, and more. The Star Tribune recommends bringing “earplugs and maybe a tissue for their set.” They initially received recognition through their first two released singles, "river" and "smile again", both recorded and mixed at home. A raw emotional intensity shines through their honest and explorative songwriting process. After the release of their debut EP "Wisteria", they were named one of First Avenue’s Best New Bands of 2023. In April of 2024, they got the most votes from industry professionals for MPR station The Current’s first annual Scouting Report Poll of the top rising artists in Minnesota. After -from Los Angeles, CA -Before everything, there is After. After consists of Graham Epstein and Justine Dorsey. They met on Hinge in Los Angeles, CA and formed After once they realized they’d probably do better as a band than as a couple. They were both born on August 23, 1995 and this is either coincidence or kismet depending on which of them you ask. With references ranging from Michelle Branch to portishead, Fountains of Wayne to Enigma, After is the atmospheric Y2K trip–hop pop band you always knew you needed because you once heard it in a dream. Their new single “The Element,” produced by Mark Isham protogée, Lucas Starbuck, is inspired by 90s trance music and the melodies of froufrou. While writing lyrics, After saw images of a girl walking alone at night in a dark futuristic city, taking an underground train, a force called The Element pulling her through time and space. The trance solo that features in the song is the “rolling yellow lights” of a tunnel flying past as she stares out the window in to nothing...bound for a bright white light. It’s an electronic ballad of mystery and time that you can dance to. |
