Orion Redwolf steps up again in his sonic evolution with “Glow,” an enchanting new single that is a pivotal moment in his artistry. As a follow-up to any half a dozen successful singles from Stormy Days, Redwoolf is embracing collaboration more than ever this time around - off the back of working with well-established producer and drummer Matt Wyatt (Night Teacher, Self) to create a sound that is immediately hauntingly familiar yet transcendently new.
In Wyatt’s studio, Tree and Booms, “Glow” pulses with an organic, hypnotic energy. Redwolf’s ethereal storytelling is woven throughout the jazzy inflections of Wyatt’s drumming, creating an immersive, dreamlike sensation. Taking influence from the Grimm’s Fairy Tales that colored his childhood imagination, Redwolf creates a sonic world in which mystery and wonder intermingle. Evocative lyricism from longtime collaborator Elie Bashkow further enriches the song’s vivid narrative.
“Glow” is the signature Redwolf sound with dusty, raw vocals that bend like wavering candlelight, leading settlers through a forest of lore. Every note is thick with emotion, a tender push-pull between nostalgia and discovery. “Glow” drags you into it and encourages you to get lost in that song’s world.
With “Glow,” Orion Redwolf solidifies himself as an avant-garde storyteller, weaving folkish mysticism with modern palettes. And as he ventures further into this new chapter in creativity, one thing is already clear: His light has only begun to shine.
