Local Music ReviewsDie ShinyGloryNine Moon RecordsStreet: 04.25.2025Die Shiny = Anne-Marie + Fleurie*Die Shiny’s most recent EP feels like their boldest statement yet, jam-packed with explosive electropop and interlaced with razor-sharp lyrical wit. The first track, “No Place,” is an emotionally intense ballad depicting the ongoing internal war of self-criticism and inner turmoil. Die Shiny’s reputation for pairing aphoristic bite with synth-like, candy-coated critiques is present here in full. Die Shiny wields their electropop sound as a scalpel, revealing the emptiness beneath the shine and turning sparkle into subservience. —Sage HoltRead more local music reviews from SLUG:Local Review: Hibernaut — Obsidian EyeLocal Review: Anyone Awake — Bushel and a Peck
