SONG PREMIERE: IAN FISHER OFFERS UNIQUE TAKE ON SOUL MUSIC WITH “IDLE HANDS”
Today Glide is excited to offer an early taste of the album with an exclusive premiere of its title track. Slow and soulful, the song feels simultaneously retro and fresh in a style that brings to mind the slower work of Dan Auerbach.
