Glitterfox – Richie’s Party
Portland’s Glitterfox will release their debut full-length album decoder, this Friday, August 22 on Jealous Butcher Records.
Today they share final album cut “Richie’s Party,” an uplifting song about the joy of finding the people in your life that make you feel seen and accepted.
Songwriter & guitarist Andrea Walker (they/them) distilled this feeling while reflecting on the wonderful experience of creating and performing with the band’s effervescent frontperson Solange Igoa (they/them) in the early days of Glitterfox. Walker muses, “‘Richie’s Party’ is a song about finally feeling like one of the cool kids.”
Solange Igoa and Andrea were a couple for 12 years, six of them married, before recently splitting up amicably. However, their musical connection is so profound that it has remained unaffected. decoder is a jubilant explosion of tracks that synthesizes the two songwriters’ garage rock, new wave, southern Americana and dance music influences.
Glitterfox formed in Long Beach, CA back in 2012 and have released a handful of acclaimed singles & EPs under their belt, several on Kill Rock Stars. Along the way, they relocated to their current hometown of Portland, Oregon, where they met Chris Funk (of The Decemberists) who is now their manager and producer. Hailed for their effervescent live show, the band launched Portland’s indie-music festival Glitterfest in 2019 (which doubled as their wedding reception). Fans can experience their captivating live show on their extensive North American fall tour.
