Glint

Glint is a synth pop group founded in New York by former Broadway performer Jase Blankfort, who serves as its main singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. Switching focus from acting to music in his late teens, the Orangeburg, New York native formed <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Rely+Records%22">Rely Records</a> with his older brother, Adam Jordan, as an outlet for his songwriting, and became a regular on the college touring circuit in the Northeast. Recorded in Boston, Glint's debut EP, Discipline Is Remembering What You Really Want, was released in 2005. The debut full-length Mode to Joy arrived in 2007 and showcased the project's post-punk revivalist, synth-textured indie rock. It featured musicians Phil Selesnick (keyboards), Dylan Kelehan (bass), and frequent collaborator Matias Tebaldi (drums) as a provisional lineup. Sound in Silence followed a year later, and Glint EP appeared in 2009. After expanding the band's touring sphere to across the U.S. and Europe, and netting support spots for acts such as <a href="spotify:artist:0SwO7SWeDHJijQ3XNS7xEE">MGMT</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3HJIB8sYPyxrFGuwvKXSLR">TV on the Radio</a>, Glint signed with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Votiv%22">Votiv</a>, which released the EPs Introvert and Extrovert in 2015. The following year, the band's third LP, Inverter, continued in the vein of recent output, offering a contemplative tone and lush, arena-friendly production. ~ Marcy Donelson, Rovi
