"Instrumental band, Glorie, was formed in Memphis in the spring of 2009 by
former Satyrs frontman, Jason Paxton, after an eight year
hiatus from playing music. The other members of Glorie (Jonathan Kirkscey, Rob
Brimhall, Andy Saunders, and Jeff Hulett) come from diverse musical backgrounds
and have performed with an impressive array of artists such as Cat Power, Jay Reatard, The
Bloodthirsty Lovers, Snowglobe, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra,
and Al Green.
The band started as a desire to create more
substantive, engaging instrumental music with
a strong focus on melody. Their music blends
acoustic, electric, and electronic sounds and draws inspiration from many
genres including rock and instrumental hip- hop. Texturally, the
instrumentation is diverse including layers of strings, synthesizer, guitar,
piano, and vibraphone creating an entrancing thick wall of sound with a
cinematic
quality.
The majority of 2010 was spent recording Glorie’s debut record which was released May 17th, 2011 on
Makeshift Music." (on Glorie's official page)
