Glitterfox - decoder (2025) Hi-Res

Glitterfox’s decoder is a fearless debut that turns heartbreak, transformation, and raw vulnerability into a blazing mix of grit, shimmer, and soul. Glitterfox’s debut full-length decoder arrives with the kind of fearless intensity that only comes from living every word. The Portland band channels queer love, heartbreak, neurodivergence, and rebirth into an album that thrives on honesty and catharsis. Songs like “Passenger,” “Change Me,” “Polaroids,” and the bittersweet spark of “Wildfires” reveal how deeply they can turn vulnerability into raw voltage. It’s music made to resonate with anyone standing at the edge of change, unsure of what’s next but compelled to leap anyway.

At the core of Glitterfox are longtime creative partners Solange Igoa and Andrea Walker, whose own split and continuing collaboration drive much of the record’s emotional force. Their partnership sets the tone for a band that values instinct over trends, community over algorithms, and connection over pretense. Joined by Eric Stalker and Blaine Heinonen, they've evolved into something bigger than a band: a chosen family bound by sound, trust, and resilience.

Raised on van tours and maps marked with pins of countless shows, Glitterfox have carved out a reputation the old-fashioned way, winning audiences city by city with sweat and soul. Their sound is a collision of garage grit, new wave sheen, Americana heart, and the throb of a packed dancefloor, all tangled together until it’s unmistakably theirs.

With decoder, Glitterfox prove they are one of the most compelling new voices in indie music. It’s an album about falling apart and building back stronger, about finding the beauty in the mess, and about singing your truth so loud that it shakes the walls around you.
