GLIED

Exildiscount's side project Glied initially began as a mere idea and artistic concept sometime around 2020.

If some bands are created for the fame and p*ssy, the main motivation behind Glied was to indulge Exildiscount’s penchant for the absurd. They thought to themselves: there simply has to be a band named Glied (“member”). Any hints towards fragile masculinity or male fragility conveyed by the uncomfortable sounding term are of course purely incidental. 

With Glied, Exildiscount opted only to use hardware synths and drum machines, removing the process of composition from the computer. Not to pander to nerdy elitism and gear hype, but so as to explore how conscious boundaries can spark creativity. The result is an unclean sort of “kraut disco” which mixes repetitive sequences of a psychedelic bent with melancholy EBM vibes. 

Glied’s debut EP “Gone Viral” was released via Unboxing Shadows on January 31, 2024.
