“ANGEL DUST” BY GLOSSER PROVIDES HEALTHY CONTRAST BETWEEN OPTIMISM AND DARKENED NOSTALGIA

GLOSSER’s unique sound is pivotal in a modern sonic landscape that tends to become oversaturated or go the other direction by embracing the experimental. GLOSSER’s ability to avoid conforming to trends grants them space to explore all sonic possibilities. Their single “Angel Dust” promotes duality; optimism is occasionally clouded by dark nostalgia, and a “grass is greener” mentality sometimes overtakes one’s ability to live in the moment.

“Heaven’s right here,” they affirm.

This self-referential anthem encourages people to continue having “too much fun,” but it confronts the aftermath head-on. Like a raging hangover, deepened metaphors line the “Angel Dust” verses eloquently.

The song reflects a pivotal moment in many people's lives, where partying all night long seemingly solves long-held problems that one would rather avoid. However, the narrator in “Angel Dust” suggests that this method is unsustainable, encouraging her audience to get comfy in silence instead.

Sonically, this danceable indie-pop banger integrates strong vocals (no cursive singing! YAY!) and well-balanced instrumentals to nicely guide the heavy emotional themes.
