....as the moon falls into the sea.

About Me

The Rockit Newspaper declares Glider a local band to watch in 2007 and says:

"Get this through your head: Orange County isn't just about pop punk and emo. Take Santa Ana-based band Glider as an example. This four-piece draws more from the Constellation Records family than from Southern California hardcore and is all the better for it. Glider will make your knees shake and lips quiver from the rush of its full-bodied, red line-riding sound."



Some words about our new album:

"What's especially nice about Glider is that, in a world of post-Mogwai/Godspeed/Sigur Rós 'widescreen' rock, they reach back to older roots while still having an energy and power that suits the present."
- Ned Raggett, All Music Guide

"This beautifully orchestrated, melancholy indie music gets inside my head, takes over my mood, and refuses to let go."
- Stephen Carradini, Delusions of Adequacy

"Beautiful, lush, and full, this disc is a gorgeous piece of work that all should have on their shelves. More than just a copy of all shoegaze and space rock bands, Glider has crafted their own niche in the new-gaze era."
- Jason Lamoreaux, Somewhere Cold



Glider makes music reminicent of what it feels like in those moments when you wake up, and you still remember what you had been dreaming about. In these moments the memory is fuzzy and you feel like you're remembering something that at any moment could be lost, but for those few moments you can hang on to your dreams, and sometimes...just sometimes...the world takes on a whole new meaning. To fully understand you must experience. So when you wake up tomorrow, try and keep dreaming a little, and a little more the day after that, until you start to live your dreams....as we already do.
