The idea of LESSER GLOW grew as a response to the unrealistic progression of heavy music in recent years… generally feeling over-technical, over-produced and sometimes entirely fake.
“I was caught in a major 90s binge, listening to a bunch of stuff like Unsane and Failure, and
feeling like that raw, palpable energy and songwriting was slipping away from modern heavy
records”, comments Nault. “I was tired of genre-choked bands, and missed hearing songs instead of riff parades.”
The lineup of the band came together organically, “though now the combination of individuals
feels incredibly fortunate”, comments Nault. Alec is the sound engineer of Chelsea Wolfe, Ben is the manager of Cambridge, MA’s finest live venue Sinclair, Seth is a session drummer and music teacher and Andrew is not only the guitarist in LESSER GLOW, but also session drummer for electro-post-hiphop outfit Arms And Sleepers. The fact that all members are experienced professionals is a restraining factor (when it comes to aligning schedules), but it has also helped the band stay focused on the essentials.
