Glitterfox at Underground Arts 2025-09-11T19:00:00
Glitterfox doesn’t chase the algorithm — they follow instinct, community, and a kind of magia (Basque for magic). Formed by longtime creative partners Solange Igoa and Andrea Walker, the Portland-based band has built their career the analog way: a van, a map, and unforgettable shows stitched across towns like constellations. Their music fuses garage rock grit, new wave shimmer, southern Americana soul, and a dancefloor pulse — all tangled with heart and heat until what emerges is unmistakably, inimitably Glitterfox.
Their debut full-length decoder (out August 22 via Jealous Butcher Records) is a supernova of sound and spirit — a soundtrack for becoming, undoing, and becoming again. The album traces deeply personal terrain: queer love, personal transformation, neurodivergence, and the emotional aftershocks of a romantic split between Igoa and Walker, who remain deeply connected musical collaborators. Tracks like “Passenger,” and the deceptively euphoric “Wildfires” showcase their ability to turn vulnerability into voltage.
Now joined by Eric Stalker and Blaine Heinonen, Glitterfox is more than a band – they’re chosen family, held together by sound and the invisible threads that music always knows how to weave. Whether launching Portland’s annual Glitterfest as a wedding reception or channeling the messy middle of life into something unforgettable, Glitterfox’s gift is their transparency, their defiance, and their freedom — sung loud.
