"Instrumental band, Glorie, was formed in Memphis in the spring of 2009 by former Satyrs
frontman, Jason Paxton, after an eight year hiatus from playing music.
The other members of Glorie (Jonathan Kirkscey, Rob Brimhall, Andy
Saunders, and Jeff Hulett) come from diverse musical backgrounds and
have performed with an impressive array of artists such as Cat Power, Jay Reatard, The Bloodthirsty Lovers, Snowglobe, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra, and Al Green.
The band started as a desire to create more substantive, engaging instrumental music with a strong focus on melody. Their
music blends acoustic, electric, and electronic sounds and draws
inspiration from many genres including rock and instrumental hip- hop.
Texturally, the instrumentation is diverse including layers of strings,
synthesizer, guitar, piano, and vibraphone creating an entrancing thick
wall of sound with a cinematic quality."
Glorie's debut album is an amazing journey of beautiful driving instrumentals. I highly recommend. Head over to their Bandcamp page to grab Glorie, and if you like what you hear be sure to donate to help them get the next album going here.
