Gløde Debutalbum

Gløde is the sound of the five-piece band around Simon Glöde, the young singer/songwriter from northern Germany. Growing up in and around Denmark, Simon has always been making music independently and continues to do so with his band out of Hamburg.

After playing hundreds of mostly self-booked shows all around the world over the past four years and the independent release of his ‘Boogie’-EP, Simon settled in the city of Hamburg, which has since served as both base and as inspiration for the songs, the friends, the team and the sound that is now called ‘Gløde’.

The songs are creative works of the band’s past two years together, expressing the struggle of finding a natural balance in an urban surrounding, and have been captured by producer Sebastian Gimm in intense live-sessions.

How does it work?

The goal is to make a fully independent album with 10 songs. The cost of this is around €20,000 and includes production, mixing, mastering and a music video. It does not include promotion, as we will be looking for partners once the album is finished. The missing amount will be supplied by the band and kind foundations.

This is music for dancing, for laughing and for crying and this album will make it possible for us to go out and share our joy of making music for years to come.

The money will be used to pay for production (including rental costs etc.), mixing by Ryan Gilligan (for whom Simon once scrubbed floors during his time at Electric Lady Studios in New York), mastering, and finally the production of a music video.
