glimmers

Growing up only a mile apart, Maggie Schneider and Alex Downtain knew they wanted to live, eat, and breathe music–only for 19 years, they didn’t know the other existed. After sharing the stage at Atlanta’s The Masquerade, the pair began working on demos for Maggie’s solo project in 2018. By 2020, they would introduce themselves to the world as glimmers. 

The pair used the pandemic as a time to fine-tune their sound and tell a story bigger than themselves. Their two sister EPs, Cluttered Heart and Worlds Apart, paint two interconnected pictures of the highs and lows of hopeless romanticism. The lead single, “Not Good At Goodbyes,” garnered praise from NPR and Alternative Press and swiftly became a fan favorite across the globe.

glimmers has since been touring, opening for Set It Off, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and releasing two more heavy-hitting tracks, “Back To Hell” and “Bad Influence.” Maggie and Alex are gearing up to release a full LP of songs that they are passionate about.
