New Video: Glimmer Shares Hazy, Summery “Someday Sunshine”

Last year, New York-based grungazers and JOVM mainstays Glimmer — Jeff Moore (vocals, guitar), Jaye Moore (drums), Johnny Nicholls (guitar) and Kevin Dobbins (bass) —released their Jeff Berner-produced full-length debut Get Weak. The album included The Colour and The Shape-era Foo Fighters-like “Dissolve” and the  Dinosaur Jr.-like “Been Down.”

The JOVM mainstay act’s latest single “Someday Sunshine” is the first bit of new material since Get Weak, and the single marks an shift in sonic direction for the band, showcasing a more melodic, dream pop-inspired sound while retaining their unerring knack for pairing catchy hooks with rousingly anthemic, power chord-driven choruses. But just underneath the mosh-pit friendly choruses, the song is underpinned by a bittersweet melancholy, seemingly fueled by the fact that summer will pass and leave you longing for those warm carefree days.

The accompanying video for “Someday Sunshine” was filmed by Digital Awareness and edited by JAM features the band performing the song and reddened in layers of psychedelic colored, VHS tape haze and hiss.

Following multiple tours across the US and Europe, the band will play a June 5, 2026 stop at TV Eye. They’ll head down to DC for Telepathic Windows Fest, before going across the pond for a July European Union and UK tour. Check out all tour dates below.

New Audio: Glimmer Shares Rousingly Anthemic “Dissolve”

Over the past couple of years, New York-based grungegaze outfit Glimmer — Jeff Moore (vocals, guitar), Jaye Moore (drums), Johnny Nicholls (guitar) and Kevin Dobbins (bass) — have released a handful of well-received singles have seen the quartet firmly establishing a sound that mixes elements of shoegaze, grunge and dream pop in a way that’s both nostalgia inducing and yet contemporary.

Building upon a growing profile, the band’s highly-anticipated full-length debut, Get Weak is slated for an October 3, 2025 vinyl release through Philadelphia-based label, Abandon Everything. Recorded with Jeff Berner at Brooklyn-based Studio G and mastered by Will Yip, Get Weak reportedly sees the band pairing their more pop-leaning singles with heavy-hitting alt-rock anthems and softer, more ethereal material.

The album’s latest single “Dissolve” continues a remarkable run of material anchored around rousingly anthemic, The Colour and The Shape-era Foo Fighters-like hooks, reverb-soaked guitars and a dreamy coda. At its core, the song evokes a dreamy and aching nostalgia for past summers — for times and things that are gone and can’t be had again.

After returning from a European tour, the members of Glimmer will be embarking on a short run of Stateside tour dates. You can check out the tour dates below.
