Glo-Worm produce chiming pop music of a non-bouncing variety that sounds pure, forlorn, and unencumbered. They are at the heart of the ‘90s East Coast independent pop music scene that brought us Slumberland Records, Velocity Girl, Versus, and Chickfactor magazine.
Glimmer brings all the various Glo-Worm 45s together under one roof. It’s a real charmer, and now available for the first time as a long-playing (LP) phonograph record.
Glo-Worm formed in Washington D.C., in the summer of 1993 and features the voice of Pam Berry (co-founder of Chickfactor magazine) accompanied by Dan Searing (drums, percussion) and Terry Banks (guitar). Previously, Pam had sung in Black Tambourine. Terry played in Tree Fort Angst and had a stint in the English underground combo St. Christopher. Dan had been in Whorl.
During the course of Glo-Worm’s two-and-a-half-ish year lifespan, the band released three 7” EPs (issued by the Somersault, Slumberland, and K labels) and had songs on a couple of compilations, all leading up to the Glimmer album. The album compiled the 7” EPs and added a cover of The Cure’s ‘Friday I’m in Love’ and was released by K in 1996.
