Forever (Cassette)

Look what glyded in, y'all - drop Forever on the platter and get the house party started! Glyders been dreaming up this sound for ages - over years, with different players, countless shows and many late nights at the tape machine. It's been a long ride to Forever - but now that they've arrived, the vibe's lightning and the blink of an eye.

Guitarist/vocalist Joshua Condon and bassist Eliza Weber started up in 2014, but even when they put together their 2023 album debut, Maria's Hunt, they still had a revolving door on the drums. Then they met Joe Seger, who fit on the kit like a glove and in their sound like a brother. Since then, the three have ridden together, building up Forever while playing shows all around the US and Europe. It's been an awesome couple of years for Glyders, in all real senses of the word, the blood, sweat and tears of life made better by their shared bond. This makes Forever's spirit high and tight, its sinews rumbling with communal joy. They really get off on it! And they're not alone. These new jams have been kicking ass at all the shows too.

Yep, the song nugs of Forever sprouted branches and spokes on the road, the increased physicality driving their mellow licks and riffs with a great depth of rolling bottom, it's groove taking them further into their own thing. After all this time, the streamlined new chassis feels mighty fine, making this the first real band album for Glyders. Listen to "Super Glyde": the humid bluesgasm kicks off Forever with three distinct waves of sheer rock energy. That same spirit is bottled like an almost krauty reserve for "Hard Ride," trippy but compellingly taut. "New Realm'''ll rock yuh too, and even the first song they wrote as a new band, "Tell Me About the Rabbit," sheds and shreds with life as recorded - we can feel it still growing as we listen.
