glaive is a vocalist, songwriter, and producer from the mountains of North Carolina who began making music at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, releasing his first song on Soundcloud in April 2020. His rise since has been meteoric, supported by a steady stream of new music that has quickly earned him acclaim and a devoted following. He shared his debut EP cypress grove in 2020, with The FADER and The New York Times naming the single "astrid" one of the best songs of the year. 2021 saw him play his first ever live shows, and his project all dogs go to heaven earned him spots on year-end Best Of lists from the The New York Times (critic Jon Caramanica's favorite song of the year), Los Angeles Times, The FADER and more.
glaive's newest EP, a bit of a mad one, comes fresh on the heels of his debut album i care so much that i dont care at all, which was released in July 2023 on Interscope Records. Likened to '90s and 2000s emo with a contemporary approach by Vulture, the musician's first full-length project earned acclaim from Pitchfork, Billboard, The FADER, FLOOD Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan, and more.
glaive's three previous EPs — cypress grove, all dogs go to heaven (plus its deluxe edition old dog, new tricks) and then i'll be happy with ericdoa — have also received critical acclaim, landing him at the top of "Best Of" lists from The New York Times, The FADER and more.
