“iGentsia is the amalgamation of three mindful individuals that hail from the the realm of Untlaef Photon, a world of pure creative energy. Together they form a single and powerful unit able to use the infinite language of euphony to communicate with beings across many physical worlds. Within the minds of those that listen, they give rise to a higher vibratory frequency of consciousness. 
If you are willing to see as they see, hear as they hear,  and feel as they feel, you are welcome to step inside of their being to understand a point of view beyond anything materialistically fathomable. Join them as they flow unseen, but heard by the masses. 
Be one with iGentsia. Be one with the sound.”

Glowbird is a rock band based out of California's San Fernando Valley. While now known for a style of blending fuzzy riffs, smooth synthesizers, ‘80s and ‘90s-worthy rock ballads, and a hint of ‘70s new wave, Glowbird began with founder and frontman Steve Dodd writing songs in a small backhouse in Pacoima, CA. The band quickly grew with additions lead guitarist Ray Rosas and later bass player Alec Golya who have been essential to developing the band’s distinctive euphoric rock sound.
 
After playing shows around Los Angeles and finessing their style, Glowbird released their first self-titled EP in 2013 introducing the valley and elsewhere to Dodd’s sultry vocals paired alongside Rosas’ colorful guitar textures, and intertwined with Golya’s leading bass. The release of “Dragonfly,” in particular, is emblematic of many of the themes of Glowbird’s songs: requited and unrequited love, the ephemeral nature of relationships, and loves lost. While Dodd’s lyrics are often upbeat and optimistic, Dodd’s vocals give way to something darker and more tragic and brooding than conveyed in the words of his songs. This sense of hopefulness in hopelessness is further solidified in Rosas’ dysphoric, fuzzed-out guitars which, when paired with Dodd’s tenor vocal range, give Glowbird its distinct upbeat melancholic sound. While the release of their EP led to Glowbird further developing their particular style, the band struggled to find a drummer that would complement their sound. Glowbird decided to dedicate time to more diligently search for a drummer while continuing to write and workshop more songs. 
 
In 2016, the band released its second EP, “Half Dead Flowers,” featuring five new songs and introducing current drummer Christian Johnson. Johnson had played with Glowbird in their early days but had moved across country before the band released their first EP in 2013. He returned to the band bringing new fervor to the band’s desire to further solidify themselves as a player in the valley’s modern rock scene. “Half Dead Flowers” is where the band embraces their kaleidoscope of sounds and explores the possibilities of combining a modern rock sound with rock ballads and synth-like gestures. Dodd’s lyrics continue to explore the tenuousness of romance while exploring darker themes of obsession, impatience, and depression. While the lyrics themselves can be melancholic, Dodd’s vocals deliver something more optimistic alongside their signature effect-driven guitar riffs, cerebral bass lines, and synchronic drums.
 
In 2020, Glowbird released their single “Patience” which hints at a new direction for the band as it nears its ten-year anniversary. While “Patience” shares many of the same lyrical themes present in “Half Dead Flowers” and “Glowbird,” the sound of the band has clearly delved into new terrains and is infused with a more anthemic energy from past material, now showcasing a shift toward synthesizers and overall wider spectrum of dynamics. “Patience” explores a romantic relationship that has come to an end and captures the desire of convincing another to take a chance on their love again. This patience, or impatience, is the distinct nature and sound of Glowbird.
