Shoegazers GLIXEN debut sophomore EP, “Quiet Pleasures”

Glixen’s sophomore EP, Quiet Pleasures, is out now through AWAL and Wichita Recordings. Across five tracks, the Phoenix-based shoegaze outfit refines their sound with a heavier, more intense approach, layering fuzzed-out guitars over Aislinn Ritchie’s ethereal vocals. The EP was produced by Sonny DiPerri (DIIV, My Bloody Valentine) and mastered by Dave Cooley (Paramore, Rancid) at Pale Moon Ranch in Juniper Hills, CA. “Quiet Pleasures explores change, desire, devotion, sensuality, and lovingness,” Ritchie explains. “We used layers of fuzzed-out and gritty guitars to introduce a darker, more intense iteration of Glixen while still capturing the fluttery charm of shoegaze.” The
