Glyders “Forever” 2025. Drag City Records. Chicago-based bluesy, glammy and riff-heavy hard psych,  Forever is Glyders fourth LP (their first two look to be cassette and possibly digital-only releases). Gobs of 60’s and 70’s sounds (Beatles, CCR, T. Rex), kinda similar to King Gizzard but less space jammy (usually – “Hard Ride” is pretty trippy and Side B’s “Steppin’/Tell Me About the Rabbit” is like a million minutes long). I haven’t seen Glyders perform, to my knowledge, but they did play at Milwaukee’s Psych Fest in ’24. Tracks like “New Realm” bring in their Chicago roots with a blues-forward guitar sound but that track also has some exotic flavors noodling around too. One of my top tracks is the psych-stomper “Stone Shadow.” The opening track “Super Glyde” is another great trippy rocker while “Moon Eyes” and “Thousand Miles” go a bit Americana twang.
