Glyders – “Stone Shadow” [Video]

“Glyders Hit the Gas with “Stone Shadow” and Gear Up for Forever

Chicago’s own Glyders are back with a jolt of vintage rock swagger and a brand-new single, “Stone Shadow,” taken from their upcoming album Forever, out November 21 on Drag City. The new video—filmed by the band alongside Liv Mershon—matches the track’s raucous energy with a playful cemetery stroll and flashes of VU meters keeping the groove locked in.

Guitarist/vocalist Joshua Condon and bassist Eliza Weber kicked off Glyders in 2014, but it wasn’t until drummer Joe Seger joined that their lineup clicked like a well-oiled engine. After road-testing these tunes across the U.S. and Europe, the power trio captured Forever at their own Studio “G” in Chicago’s Humboldt Park, with mixing help from Cooper Crain down in Pilsen.

“Stone Shadow” barrels forward on a hot boogie beat while Josh shouts, “Ain’t got no money / I just wanna have a ball,” before cutting through with a wiry guitar solo and a synth shimmer that slices the fog. It’s a no-frills party starter and a mission statement for a band that plays like they’re in it for life.

Eliza’s cover art seals the deal—punk collage meets classic roots—a vibe that feels like something you’d wear on your skin as much as spin on your turntable. Forever clocks in at a lightning-fast 37 minutes, leaving plenty of room for a second spin.
