Set to captivate listeners with its uniquely haunting atmosphere, American singer-songwriter Orion Redwolf releases ‘Glow’, an exquisite plunge into his signature dark indie soundscape. Enriched by the collaborative brilliance of co-producer Matt Wyatt, celebrated for his jazz-informed percussion, and lyrical muse Elie Bashkow. The track languidly unfolds with a loping, finger-style guitar riff, while Orion’s grainy-yet-elastic vocals shepherd listeners through an enchanted woodland. This sonic and lyrical journey draws heavily from the artist’s childhood enchantment with Grimm’s Fairy Tales. The imagery of characters navigating forests with trees of silver, gold, and gemstones is vividly conjured through the rich songwriting.

The diverse instrumentation, featuring slide guitars and Wurlitzer, gliding over thunderous drums, echoes the fantastical themes of the lyrics, evoking a sense of mystical beings convening for a surreal twilight gathering. This fusion of intricate guitar melodies and opulent production underscores Orion’s distinctive identity as an artist who seamlessly merges genres to craft deeply personal, emotive music. ‘Glow’ is a luminous example of Orion Redwolf’s ability to create music that profoundly resonates, offering listeners an enchanting and transcendent experience.

“Music has always been my way of connecting with the world and most people I know stem from music in some context or the other. It makes sense that extending that into the production would feel great! Glow is special in that it had a community around the creation; Matt’s influence on the sonics and Elie’s influences on the lyrics.”
