Glixen is a Phoenix-based shoegaze band formed in 2020, made up of vocalist/guitarist Aislinn Ritchie, guitarist Esteban Santana, bassist Sonia Garcia, and drummer Keire Johnson. Arriving as a standout force in the American shoegaze renaissance, Glixen blends heavy, textured soundscapes with dreamy, ethereal vocals—crafting music that nods to the genre’s roots while sounding distinctly modern.

Their sound draws from a wide range of influences, including My Bloody Valentine, Björk, t.A.T.u., Godflesh, and Hum, resulting in songs that balance intensity and introspection. Aislinn’s lulling vocal delivery floats over walls of distortion and reverb, creating a striking contrast that defines the band’s sonic identity.

In 2024, Glixen released their sophomore EP, quiet pleasures, produced by Sonny DiPerri (DIIV, My Bloody Valentine) and mastered by Dave Cooley (Paramore, Rancid). Recorded at Pale Moon Ranch in Juniper Hills, CA, the five-track release showcases their growth—melding syrupy melodies, heartfelt lyricism, and dense guitar work into a deeply emotional and immersive experience.

Glixen has toured with Interpol, DIIV, and Softcult, and made their Coachella debut in 2025, cementing their place at the forefront of the genre. Their name, taken from a lovesliescrushing song, speaks to their deep connection to shoegaze’s dreamy, otherworldly spirit—while forging a sound that is unmistakably their own.
