Excerpt from Free Indie Music Downloads

“Nothing like a little mood music…especially if your mood is contemplative, mysterious, and you’re looking for a shady individual behind a decrepit building in the middle of the night. Glorie’s dark instrumentals make your soul wonder if everything will be ok. What do you expect when one of the songs is titled “Music For A Horror Movie”? In all seriousness, this is some great music.” freeindiemusicdownloads.com

Excerpt from Hearwax

“This is a surprising release. Glorie utilize different instruments and post-rock stylings to their advantage, creating a memorable output in the process.” - Logan Broger hearwaxmedia.com

Excerpt from The Silent Ballet

“Glorie is obviously inspired by many, yet no one artist stands out as the defining influence. Glorie’s music is familiar, yet new and engaging. They manage to stand out not because of their raw musical ideas, but because of their compositional style.” - Greg Norte thesilentballet.com

Excerpt from Drop-D

“…a beautiful and wonderful tapestry of lush melodies and slick nuances…” - Jonathan Keane drop-d.ie

Excerpt from Video Feature on SYFFAL

“It isn’t as much about the stellar musicianship and patience I hear in this band’s music, but in their completely honest representation of how seemingly unrelated instrumentation melts perfectly within itself. Post-rocky and damn near Summer blockbuster soundtrack perfect, Glorie’s self titled album is the tits. As is this iPhone shot video. Fuck you Glorie. Talented pricks.” - Joel Frieders syffal.com

Excerpt from This Blog Is OK

“Glorie, all through their self titled debut, never miss a beat, engaging in interlocking passages without over emphasizing any one player. The band have taken their jams and worked meticulously on them for the last year, and it shows.” - Nathan Wall thisblogisok.com

Excerpt from Escapology

“Each track on their self-titled debut EP seems to find that sweet spot between melody and ambiance” - Andrew West escapebadmusic.com

Excerpt from Shut Your Fucking Face And Listen

“Introspective, moody, and complicated enough without alienating those of us without Berklee College of Music edjamacations; it’s just accessible enough to bring in new listeners, while allowing music fiends like me the pleasure of hearing something fresh.” - Joel Frieders syffal.com

Excerpt from TOP GEAR MMX

“Отличная работа - на стыке прогрессивной, экспериментальной и неоклассической музыки - насыщенная, продуманная, высокопрофессиональная, со своим индивидуальным звучанием. Любителям мелодической инструментальной рок-музыки рекомендуется!” Top Gear MMX

DeckFight

“Inspirational, delightful and awesome. Instrumental music makes me think of road trips, is it the progression? the beat? the sense of wandering? Don’t know. But I like Glorie. From Memphis.” deckfight.com

Excerpt from Subba-Cultcha

“Instrumental rock is a much maligned genre that very rarely sees any genuine creativity anymore but Glorie have really discovered a honey-pot here that too few others bands are even looking for, seemingly content to just float with the flotsam.” - Benjamin Hiorns subba-cultcha.com

Excerpt from Suicide Dots

“Έτσι και η μουσική των Glorie, τόσο απλή και καθόλου πρωτότυπη για τα μέτρα του σύμπαντος αλλά τόσο προσωπική για τη προσωρινότητα του ακροατή. Το μουσικό χαλί μιας πτήσης που τίποτε δεν συμβαίνει αλλά είναι τόσο παρούσα και μοναδική… ” suicidedots.blogspot.com

Excerpt from Aiding & Abetting

“The best instrumental music makes the listener forget that most songs have vocals. Glorie makes the listener forget the point of vocals.”aidabet.com

Excerpt From Live From Memphis Review

“The band adds layers upon layers, with songs such as “Highrise” climaxing in great chiaroscuro avalanches of sounds. Kirkscey’s orchestral background comes through in the web of counter melodies in “Water Drops”, which epitomizes the albums’ strength: the grace and precision with with the players fit these sounds together. It’s tough, at any point in these nine songs, to identify which instrument is leading and which following, which melody is the one to focus on. The answer is, none of them. It’s about how the clockwork fits together.” - Chris McCoy livefrommemphis.com

Excerpt from Memphis Flyer CD Release Show

“Paxton’s new band, Glorie, celebrates the release of its first album, an eponymously titled collection of brooding, gorgeously recorded instrumentals.” - Chris Davis memphisflyer.com

Excerpt from The Vinyl District Review

“They’ve squeezed every ounce of emotional content they could from the pop music format with some savvy additives like vibes and cellos. But these aren’t songs, they are pieces. Pieces which build you up and lay you down like a story arc in a daydream.” - Mike Wilson thevinyldistrict.com/memphis/
