Glaive with Aldn and Midwxst at Club Dada
Fri Feb 11 2022 – 8:00 PM
location: Club Dada
True to the name of his burgeoning genre, Glaives music has a punky, proudly frenetic energy, with buzzing synth riffs and highly processed vocals over distorted beats that can explode suddenly into double-time spasms. (Other likeminded hyperpop acts, who began coalescing around a popular Spotify playlist with more than 240,000 followers, include 100 gecs, Midwxst and Osquinn.) The sound feels indelibly tied to the pandemic, in terms of both its methodology no need for social distancing when youre working alone in your bedroom and its raw, scatterbrained emotion, which has attracted Gen Z-ers deeply familiar with the overstimulated sensation of staring at a screen or two for hours on end.
