Tyler Glenn
Oct 14, 2016
"Shameless" is the first single released by Neon Trees' front-man Tyler Glenn from his upcoming debut solo album, "Excommunication" due out on October 21st via Island Records. The song is a celebration of excess and indulgence that pulses with throbbing keyboards, slappy funk bass and a steady beat. The lyrics echo the decadent vibe of the music: "I've been fighting off a hurricane inside me.../ It's the darkest time of the night/ Godd- vodka might save my life/you judge but I don't give a damn.../ I live a life so shameless."
"This album is a break-up record," Glenn said. "It's been liberating to find a greater sense of purpose, but it's not been without its sadness. I wanted this album to feel the way it feels to have a crisis of faith. The highs, the lows, the dark and the light - with the end result being a paradigm shift. I feel liberated and more creative than ever. I thank God for that, whoever she is."
Neon Trees has released three full-length studio albums, "Habits," (2010), "Picture Show" (2011) and "Pop Psychology" (2014). After the third collection came out, Glenn began working on his solo material.
