King of Foxes - FMLU

King of Foxes is the band of Olivia Street, based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. After meeting her at The Great Escape, we would have never guessed that her band does energetic, 90s-inspired indie rock. Unfortunately, King of Foxes did not play at the festival this year, because word is that

SORRYNOTSORRY - Foggy Like a Bladerunner

Like a lazy lunch on a hot summer day, gazing out over the East River and watching the glittering waves—that hazy, sun-drenched feeling is perfectly captured in “Foggy Like a Bladerunner,” the third single by Brooklyn’s hottest new psych-rock duo, SORRYNOTSORRY. The track delights in restraint, letting Sam

Raquel Martins - DEAD END

Raquel Martins is a Portugal-born musician based in London. The title of her upcoming debut album, LONDON, WHEN ARE U GONNA FEEL LIKE HOME?, speaks volumes already about the difficulty of bringing these two very different places together.

Lew Apollo - Diamonds and Gold

Austin-based rising artist Lew Apollo delivers a hot and hypnotic track with “Diamonds and Gold,” a disco-infused number spiked with funk and soul. Think Bee Gees vibes, reimagined: there’s an acoustic guitar at its heart, but without the flamenco drama, more like a whispered secret than a flourish. I

Mercy Land is the duo of Laura Jinn and Tatum Gale, who declare themselves as "starcrossed lovers chasing a crumbling dream." Their second single, "Get Lost!", is a beauty of dark electronic pop, featuring silvery vocals and thick layers of synths. The track is on Mercy

Robin Kester - An Hour Per Day

The title of Robin Kester’s new single is a quiet meditation in itself, and the almost haunting melody deepens that mood. “An Hour Per Day” - quick, think: what would you want to do for one hour each day? Or what do you have to do? When we saw

Night Moves - Ring My Bell

As a teenager in the late '70s and early '80s, I vividly remember Anita Ward’s “Ring My Bell.” The track was fierce, glorious, and a beautifully persistent earworm - I still love it today. So naturally, when one of my current favorite bands, Night Moves, released a

Red Moon - Thermochromatic

"Thermochromatic" is an intricate, shapeshifting pop song built around a bubbling rhythm, swirling synths, and a favorite word of the Norwegian singer-songwriter Red Moon. The track was already finished in 2020 when she "felt creatively lit up and full of momentum," but it was not released

LAWN CHAIR - Waste Your Potential!

LAWN CHAIR is a Berlin-based four-piece that draws comparisons to the angry German post-punk of the 80s. While Claudia Schlutius sings in English – she has also American roots – the sentiment is the same: things suck, but somehow you dance your way through it. The rough guitars contrast with the melodic

Chameleons - Saviours Are A Dangerous Thing

Between the two of us at glamglare, Oliver has always been a passionate fan of Manchester post-punk legends The Chameleons. When we met back in the ’90s, I liked listening to those records, but the spark never quite ignited for me. That changed today. The first few bars of "

MINOE - Teenage Disillusionment

This song speaks for itself. Being let down by others is part of growing up, but it is especially tough if this happens with somebody who is supposed to support and love you. In "Teenage Dissillusionment," the Montreal-based singer/songwriter MINOE looks back at her own experience in
