Washington D.C.-based indie pop duo GLOSSER is back with exciting news: their new EP Angel Dust will be released on November 15th through If This Then Records. To give fans a taste of what’s to come, they’ve also dropped the title track, “Angel Dust,” along with a self-directed music video. The new single is now available on all streaming platforms, offering a glimpse into their evolving sound.
“Angel Dust” dives into a unique blend of dreamy synth-pop and darker emotional themes. Lead singer Riley Fanning describes the track as a dance-pop song about the highs and lows of a wild night out. The song balances upbeat rhythms with lyrics that reflect on emptiness and the need to escape, making it both catchy and thought-provoking. This mix of light, airy melodies with raw, introspective lyrics continues to be a signature of GLOSSER’s music.
The new EP Angel Dust explores a wider range of sounds while staying true to the duo's dreamy pop roots. Fans of artists like Beach House and Phantogram will appreciate the way GLOSSER brings together nostalgic, shimmering synths with just the right amount of grit. The lead single captures the essence of the band’s latest direction, blending upbeat dance beats with an undercurrent of melancholy.
Since their debut in 2021, GLOSSER, made up of Riley Fanning and her musical partner Corbin Sheehan, has been building their reputation with a sound that’s both familiar and fresh. Their 2023 album DOWNER helped establish them as rising stars in the indie pop world, and now they’re taking it even further. The EP Angel Dust promises to showcase their ability to mix light and dark elements in a way that’s both danceable and deeply emotional.
GLOSSER is crafting indie pop for a new generation, blending dreamy melodies with raw emotion, creating music that resonates deeply with listeners searching for both escape and connection.
