Due Out 11/17 via Other People Records

Share New Track “Soothe Me

Preorders Available Now

On Tour This Fall w/ Hundredth, Spotlights, Tennis System

Ft. Collins, Colorado’s Gleemer have announced their new full length, Anymore, due out November 17th via Other People Records. To celebrate, the band has shared “Soothe Me” a driving cut of shoegaze-inflected alternative from the new album.

Started as the solo project of guitarist/vocalist, Corey Coffman, Gleemer blossomed into a full-fledged band throughout a string of releases, including 2015’s Moving Away, which garnered the group more attention and set the stage for Anymore. For the making of Anymore, Coffman and multi-instrumentalist Charlie O’Neil hunkered down in the home studio that Coffman built in his parent’s house and the duo created the new record piece by piece, engineering and playing everything themselves.

The resulting album resonates with the comfort of old friends and its warm blend of emotive ’90s rock and shoegaze offers a new spin on familiar textures. Coffman’s singer/songwriter influences shine through in his episodic lyrics that paint detailed scenes, recounting the smallest details that will later become significant. This attention to detail is Gleemer’s strong suit with Coffman’s meticulous production bringing out the best in the band’s dynamics from the subdued atmospherics to the towering fuzzed-out climaxes.

Gleemer will be supporting Anymore throughout the Fall on a lengthy run of U.S. tour dates with Hundredth, Spotlights, and Tennis System. See full itinerary below.

Biography:
Ft. Collins, Colorado’s Gleemer is rooted in the micro, the tiny parts of life that feel insignificant until you look back on them later and realize how much you’ve changed. It’s this attention to the details of life that fuels the band’s new full length, Anymore.

Gleemer started small as the solo project of guitarist/vocalist Corey Coffman, whose initial interest was mostly recording. At age 15, he’d already transformed part of his parents’ house into a makeshift recording space, which led to studying music engineering in Phoenix, AZ, and then working at a studio in Brooklyn, NY. Though he’d always dabbled in writing and recording his own music, it wasn’t until Coffman found himself alone in New York that Gleemer took shape. Coffman began sharing his song ideas via email with friends back in Colorado and the process soon proved so fruitful that he decided to move back home to pursue the band more seriously. The band would go through several line-up changes with each member leaving their mark, but the addition of multi-instrumentalist Charlie O’Neil was the final ingredient to Gleemer’s growth. The result would be Moving Away, an impressive collection of songs that introduced the band to a wider audience and hinted at the potential that would be realized on Anymore.

As Gleemer’s momentum grew, so did Coffman and O’Neil’s creative partnership as the duo played and recorded every piece of Anymore together in the home studio, giving the album a palpable sense of warmth and familiarity. Indebted to the ‘90s, Coffman and O’Neil use shades of emotional alternative’s vulnerability and the distorted grandeur shoegaze elements to create a dynamic sound that feels intimate and expansive all at once. Coffman’s considerate production feels like a labor of love as each track ebbs and flows between gentle atmospherics and huge fuzz-drenched catharsis. Gleemer’s songs often sound massive, but lyrically focus on individual instances. Much of Anymore is episodic, with Coffman’s plain-spoken poeticism drawing on his own experiences to create fictionalized vignettes that catalog the kinds of small details that can only be cherished in hindsight. While these dramatic scenes are often left unresolved, Coffman’s words encourage a kind of solace in uncertainty.

Sometimes it’s the littlest things that create the biggest impression. With Anymore, Gleemer seeks to capture these flashes of hurt, excitement, longing, and hope, and translate them into personal songs that supply universal touchstones. Through this process Anymore offers both a set of great songs and hopefully a little comfort, if only for a moment.
