GLOM FRONTMAN SEAN DUNNEVANT WRITES HIS RIFFS WHILE JAMMING IN FRONT OF THE TV — but when he wrote the riff to “Glass” a few years back, he thought it was just another couch-inspired tune. After recording and mixing the songs for his new album Below, Dunnevant started teasing the tracks on the band’s social media. Overnight, “Glass” went viral and became Glom’s biggest moment since the band started eight years ago.

Millions of views across TikTok and Instagram Reels later, Below feels like a rebirth for Glom. It’s the band’s first album where Dunnevant has taken full control, as he worked with a songwriting partner on previous releases. Recorded with producer and longtime friend Sahil Ansari, it’s the first Glom project that reflects Dunnevant’s vision from top to bottom. It’s also the first time Glom have seen significant anticipation build around a release, with the virality of “Glass” making it Glom’s first song to reach 1,000,000 Spotify streams in November. This spring, Glom embarks on its first full headlining tour across the US, supported by fellow NYC acts buffchick and SNOWMEN.

Glom’s music draws inspiration from every corner of the alt-rock pantheon — Dunnevant modeled the drums on Below after Third Eye Blind’s self-titled record, he aims to emulate his favorite guitarist Johnny Marr’s jangly precision and his biggest ambition in the music industry is to have a career trajectory that resembles Sonic Youth’s.
