Meet Glyy: The Architects of a New Pop Era

Comprised of five uniquely gifted musicians, Glyy is a case study in how collaboration breeds originality. The band includes:

Alex Baud – guitar wizard with a feel for both sharp riffs and melodic undertones

August Lägermo – a drummer with polyrhythmic mastery drawn from global influences

Daniel Thorell – on keyboard and cello, adding orchestral depth and harmonic texture

David Rapp – the voice that carries the vision, soulful and arresting

Fernando Hermida – the bass anchor bringing groove-heavy undertones to every track

Together, this Stockholm-Örebro ensemble walks a fine but deliberate line between what is "popular and brilliant" and what is new and intriguing. The result? Genre-bending music that feels simultaneously grounded and otherworldly.

Connect with Glyy

In a musical world increasingly defined by algorithms and genre labels, Sweden’s own Glyy exists defiantly in the margins—where experimentation meets listenability, and global rhythms collide with Scandinavian cool. Born out of Stockholm and Örebro, this self-published, multi-instrumentalist five-piece is reinventing pop by blending indie aesthetics with Afro-inspired grooves, creating a sonic landscape that is both fresh and forward-thinking.

Glyy isn’t chasing trends—they’re shaping what the future of pop could sound like.

Self-Published and Fearlessly Original

In an industry often reliant on major labels and polished commercial rollouts, Glyy takes the independent route—writing, recording, and producing their work in-house. That autonomy fuels their creative freedom, allowing the band to craft songs that challenge the pop status quo.

They don’t just drop singles. They curate sonic statements. Every release is an invitation to step outside the algorithm and into something bolder, riskier, and deeply human.

Indie Pop with Afro Soul

What sets Glyy apart isn’t just their musicianship—it’s their approach to sound. The band draws from the textural richness of Afrobeat, Afropop, and Highlife, blending it with the dreamy, synth-laden DNA of Scandinavian indie pop.

This isn’t fusion for fusion’s sake. It’s intentional artistry, a love letter to rhythmic complexity and melody-driven songwriting. Each Glyy track feels like a journey: experimental, unpredictable, but always hook-laden and emotionally resonant.

Think Tame Impala meets Burna Boy in a Stockholm warehouse with just enough melancholy and modern edge to make it unforgettable.
