Gloria, a psychedelic rock girl group from Lyon France, has been revisiting the echoes of the 60s for several years, blending modernity with tasty retro references. Led by the mesmerizing voices of Wendy Martinez, Amy Winterbotham, and Marie-Louise Bourgeois, under the guidance of guitarist-producer Kid Victrola, the band transcends genres.

Their sonic universe—ranging from raw garage rock to celestial pop and mystical folk—summons the spirits of the 60s while resonating with Motown soul and the defiant energy of 90s indie rock. A true witches' brew, their sound is a captivating mix of fuzz and vocal harmonies, the group’s signature.

Since their acclaimed debut album In Excelsis Stereo (2016), followed by an EP in 2018 and their second opus Sabbat Matters (2021), Gloria has graced stages across Europe alongside acts like Altin Gün, Woods, The Soundcarriers or Slift. They’ve been filmed by KEXP, featured in AMC’s series Lodge 49, and made a mark with their iconic trio of frontwomen—a three-headed vocal hydra.

In 2025, Gloria returns with a third album inspired by ancient mythology, where muses and deities intertwine with their sonic world. More rock-driven and disenchanted, this opus pays homage to the thematic records of the 60s while exploring new horizons. Each track is an irreverent offering to the gods of Olympus, and the album as a whole celebrates multiplicity—a whole greater than the sum of its parts. In the shadow of the 60s garage temple, Gloria continues to invent the future of the past.
