Glaive with Aldn and Midwxst at Club Dada

True to the name of his burgeoning genre, Glaive’s 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 you’re 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.
