Biography

Glows was the project of London based audio-visual duo, GG Skips , of UK band Sorry, and Felix Bayley-Higgins. Friends since school where they were involved in the formation of the Slow Dance collective and label, they experimented in all avenues of London’s arts and music scenes in recent years. From forming improvisational assemble EMU (Felix Raman, black midi, Cajm, Martha Skye Murphy) to creating installations for the Royal Academy of Arts, to collaborations with postpunk revivalists Squid, PVA and shame. Glows was first the bedroom project of Skips, driven by propulsive percussion and electronics, alongside translucent synths and scuffed vocals, the sound restlessly skits from orchestral to ambient to hardcore. Early single releases gained support from NME, DIY, and Radio 1 with 'Perla' and 'Afterthought' subsequently being voted as Loud and Quiet’s 'Best Songs Of The Year'. Mirroring the discursive nature of it’s sound, debut EP ‘J.L HOOKER LOVE PLEASURE FOREVER’ was inspired by unravelling depressive linkages between Blues artists, and double single Tropic/Hold Hold dipped back into club and industrial dabblings featuring vocals from Sorry’s Asha Lorenz and collaborations with labelmate Saint Jude. 
 The final and only official full length ‘LA, 1620’, was the culmination of 7 years of the project, kaleidoscopic look over the past, with voice notes and old demos weaving through the material that folded in on itself until its release.
