GLOE // Professional Avocation

Falling under the self made genre known as mathgaze, Salt Lake City’s GLOE may be fresh out on the scene but one listen to their debut track “Professional Avocation” and it’s clear that this isn’t the beginning for any of them. Made up of members from various local bands (Dustbloom, Rile, Grass, Visitors), GLOE could easily be seen as a supergroup of sorts but even if you’re unfamiliar with any of their other bands, it won’t take long to find much to love about their new project. Taking the rich, layered atmospheres of shoegaze, blending it with the meticulous signatures of math rock, and polishing everything off with a subtle yet aggressive post hardcore finish, “Professional Avocation” sounds like a thrilling six minute journey that’s just as addictive as all of the eclectic styles that give it such a solid composure. 

GLOE’s debut EP, Vestige, is due out on August 25th.

"Brighton duo GAPS have made one of the strongest debut tracks we’ve heard in quite some time."
