When the 2026 Something In The Way Fest lineup dropped<\/a> a few weeks ago, we were stoked to see Glixen<\/a><\/strong> in the mix alongside Sunny Day Real Estate, Explosions in the Sky, Momma, and others. When the festival returns to Roadrunner in Brighton this winter, the Phoenix shoegaze band should deliver a hefty dose of sonic warmth, and that feeling is fueled by weighty new single “Medicine Bow.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The track hit the streams this past Friday (November 14), and the follow-up to February EP Quiet Pleasures<\/em>, which featured the shoegaze storm “All Tied Up”<\/a>, furthers the foursome’s ability to harness a distorted avalanche of sound that’s both expansive and precise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what Glixen has to say about “Medicine Bow,” which reads like its own review: \u201cIt\u2019s a sense of urgency bound to the quiet yearning for self-comfort. The song drifts between lucidity and a\u00a0fever dream, where soft vulnerability meets slow-burning decay. The lead and rhythm guitars melt and unmeld in a hypnotic blur, mirroring the emotional push and pull at the heart of the track. With each refrain, ‘Medicine Bow’ becomes a reflection of that internal ache to hold on while letting go \u2014 a sonic unraveling that feels intimate and disoriented.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey that works for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
