On the 22nd of October 2021, the Rome-based psychedelic and indie rock artist known as Shiny Glide released their latest album titled Nocturnal Flight. Shiny Glide consists of one man with a Fender guitar and an Arturia MIDI controller and it goes without saying Shiny Glide is able to do so much by himself.
Nocturnal Flight is Shiny Glide’s attempt to harness some love and unity in a constantly decaying world full of racism, sexism, and countless other injustices. Shiny Glide did not and does not create music for financial reasons but in order to express what is important to be heard for the betterment of the human race.
“I don’t make music for others or for the masses but to treasure a divine and universal language and to survive the best way I can in a pretty sad and horrible world and society.” – Shiny Glide
The lead single off of Nocturnal Flight is a song called “In danger of extinction,” which is a great outlet for escaping the stresses and troubles of society. Although “In danger of extinction” is Shiny Glide’s lead single, the titular song of the album was released alongside a music video, which pairs images of natural beauty with those of digital beauty all with the emotional frequencies of Shiny Glide’s music. “Nocturnal Flight” is definitely a music video you will not want to skip.
The path to Nocturnal Flight had not been an easy one for Shiny Glide, especially considering he distanced himself from his unsupportive and offending family. Because of this difficult path, Shiny Glide crafts this safe space for listeners that are sympathetic to others’ hardships and to the problems of the world today. By utilising his fast and instinctive songwriting practices, Shiny Glide is able to create wonderful pieces of music for all to hear.
