It seems the stars are aligning for Phoenix's own Glixen, who are set to embark on a headlining tour that will shake up venues across North America. This tour kicks off on February 20 at Zia Records' Bethany Home location, with the outfit planning to serenade stages right up to their Coachella appearance on April 11 and 18. The Phoenix New Times has provided us with the full itinerary, confirming that the band is indeed on a fast track to own this spring's music scene.
In true shoegaze fashion, Glixen's tour will not only feature major festival stops like Noise Pop in San Francisco and Freakout Weekender in Seattle but also see them bring along Suzy Clue and She’s Green as tour openers. With the tour slated to support their upcoming EP "Quiet Pleasures," fans can expect a dreamy yet crunchier dive into the band's adventurous sound, as teased in their anthemic single "all tied up." Despite its laid-back vibes, the band is set vigorously to promote the EP, which drops February 21 via AWAL and Wichita Recordings.
Music aficionados will find "all tied up" to be a luxurious blend of intoxicating vocals and bold drums—a true testament to Glixen's artistry as they steer shoegaze into uncharted waters. Aislinn Ritchie, the band's vocalist, conveyed the essence of the song in an interview with LOUD WOMEN, stating, "'all tied up' is about feeling completely consumed by someone. We definitely wanted the song to feel enveloping. There’s a subtle tension that builds throughout with a push and pull between the guitars and vocals. The song hits hard with its emotional depth, yet breathes with a playful melody."
As spring approaches, keep an eye out for Glixen's seamless journey across North America, making sure to leave their mark with each performance. Their schedule is packed with dates from Phoenix to Durham, and from Nashville to the famed Indio desert for Coachella. For those eager to witness the band's ascent in real-time, tickets and additional concert information are available at local concert calendars, with the Phoenix New Times serving up the detailed tour dates for fans to plan accordingly.
