“Angel Dust” by Glosser
Glosser, recently announced thier new EP Angel Dust will drop on November 15 via If This Then Records. Ahead of the album’s arrival, the band have share the title track and band-directed music video. Glosser’s sound is inspired by Phantogram, Lorde, Beach House and more.
On the song the band’s Riley Fanning says, “”Angel Dust” is a self-referential dance pop song about having maybe too much fun. It’s a tailspin, both the party itself and the emptiness that comes from that. Writing this song seems to have further solidified a constant theme in our music – using pop constructs to convey darker, more raw feelings. To me the song is like a night out when the bars are closing, but you want to keep partying to avoid an empty apartment, to avoid the morning light.”
For Angel Dust Fanning and Sheehan wanted to do something different. They wrote together, and although doing so with no exact direction, Fanning built her craft as a singer/songwriter. Forming in DC (with a quick detour to a Baltimore apartment basement), GLOSSER wrote their debut record. They then traveled to Philadelphia where they would record and fully realize 2023’s album DOWNER. With DOWNER, GLOSSER offered a new challenge and reward – a more immediately gratifying pop experience that redefines who they are and what they’re capable of. To celebrate the one year anniversary of their first album, GLOSSER released a deluxe edition of DOWNER with If This Then Records in 2024, featuring a remix by Half Waif collaborater Zubin Hensler, a new version of their song “The Artist” with indie pop up-&-comer Sophie Coran, and a new take on their track “Disco Girls” remixed by Eric Hudson of Foxing.
