It doesn’t happen all of the time but sometimes a record // band makes me SO FUCKING HAPPY! Case in point, the new album Happens All The Time by GLIA makes me so happy that I have a huge smile on my face as I write this and the music is so good my heart is smiling! This band has created the soundtrack to my summer and beyond! Unholy hell yes, their songs are Shoegaze anthems that must be heard by all because they are that freaking good. All of their tunes have the perfect balance of blown-out fuzz mixed with sundrenched riffs! GLIA’s song “Turn” is an audio magic carpet ride that I wish lasted beyond forever! Everything about this tune is fucking PERFECT and I love how it almost has an R&B vibe. I love the last song on the tape “Moonflower” because it puts me into a mindstate of raw uncut BLISS. GLIA proves that Texas is one of the most important states when it comes to the Shoegaze Renaissance that is taking place right now. I would love to microdose some mushrooms and watch GLIA perform Happens All The Time in full. It doesn’t happen all of the time but I did find a Shoegaze band that makes me really happy! Thank you Candlepin Records for releasing such a special record and y’all can pick up the tape HERE!
