Glowsun Finish Writing Fourth Album; New Lineup Announced
Last heard from a decade ago with 2015’s Beyond the Wall of Time (review here), Lille-based heavy psychedelic rockers Glowsun are looking to make a return/restart with a new lineup around founding guitarist/vocalist and renowned graphic artist Johan Jaccob. In revealing the new lineup below, with drummer Yann Duvivier returning and bassist François Hannecart coming aboard I think for the first time, Jaccob has noted that the band’s next album — their fourth overall — is through the writing process and they’re beginning to prepare to record.
This is winning news if you remember the band or don’t, and to prove it there’s Glowsun‘s Spotify embedded at the bottom of this post. Thanks to Debbie Lee (it was great to see you and Scott in Oslo) for putting Jaccob‘s social media post in the Obelisk group on Facebook, which is where I saw it. Now I have a new thing to look forward to. This is how the internet was supposed to work. Nobody seems to remember.
Bet this’ll be good:
Hello,
After almost five years of silence on my part, it’s time to explain Glowsun’s status.
Since October 2021, the group has unfortunately split up. I won’t give you the reasons, but one thing to remember: there was a deep disagreement between us.
I’m excited to announce I’ve reformed the group! For nearly three years now, I’ve been reliving this adventure with my childhood friend, the one I created Blue Curse with in 1997, before Blue Curse became Glowsun: the first ever drummer, Yann Duvivier (Yann Imal) (Glowsun, Zaang). And at the bottom, we now welcome François Hannecart (François MuleBus) (Jimi connors experience, Chatte Royal, Oddism).
Today I would like to share with you this new milestone: we’ve just finished writing the fourth album, and we’ll be entering the studio in the coming months.
Please note that we have no label, no more capital, no more concert van, no more website… Anyway, everything has to be rebuilt from the beginning! There’s still a lot to do, but we’re moving forward step by step, with desire, passion and kindness!
I also want to say a huge thank you to all the people who participate or have participated in this project that has been close to my heart for so many years. Your support, commitment and energy have always been a valuable source for me. I can’t wait to tell you more, to share this new adventure with you and, as with all previous albums, to draw the album cover myself.
More news to follow soon.
Much love, Johan
