Glazyhaze, Italy’s youthful maestros of shoegaze and dreampop, summon melodies that pull listeners straight into the blissed-out haze of the early ’90s. Their sound brims with echoes of the Pixies’ punch, the Breeders’ raw energy, Slowdive’s soft waves, Throwing Muses’ sharp edges, and Liz Phair’s unfiltered charm. This quartet—Irene Moretuzzo, Lorenzo Dall’Armellina, Francesco Giacomin, and Vsevolod Prokhorov—conjures an atmosphere that swirls with nostalgia and fresh intent, embracing the familiar while spinning new magic.
Now, Glazyhaze unveils their latest creation: the single and music video What A Feeling, a shimmering preview of their second full album, set to arrive in 2025.
What a Feeling marks a bold turn for Glazyhaze, casting off their former ethereal tones in favor of a stripped-back ferocity. The band leans into distortion-drenched guitars, pulsing rhythms, and bolder vocals that speak to the fierce joy of rediscovering one’s true self. Its lyrics meditate on the way life’s relentless pace pulls us from our inner core—and the fierce, almost euphoric power of regaining that lost connection.
The music video, set in a dim, abandoned theater, conjures up a sense of timelessness, with its warm tones and subtle lighting. Director Francesco Giacomin showcases the band’s offbeat charisma with a faux living-room setup onstage, echoing the camaraderie of bands like Sonic Youth and Bikini Kill. Here, in the glow of this weathered stage, Glazyhaze’s spirit shines, blending nostalgia with the thrill of forward motion.

With recording and mixing by Paolo Canaglia and mastering by Maurizio Baggio, Glazyhaze achieves a new level of punch and polish with What A Feeling, retaining just enough edge to keep things authentic
Glazyhaze’s debut album, Just Fade Away, offered a call to let loose, to see and feel deeply, to embrace emotions in a world that pushes them down, casting vulnerability as weakness. Since its release, the band has crisscrossed Europe, playing in major cities and building a fervent following. Now, with their second album on the horizon for Spring 2025, Glazyhaze presents a richer, bolder vision—infused with shoegaze, post-punk, and alt-rock influences. This new collection captures a deeper, more personal tone, showcasing both growth and grit that set the stage for something unforgettable.
