ABOUT GLITCHLETTE
Ethereal and abrasive post-pop from the Otherworld.
Hi! I'm GLITCHLETTE. Glad you're here.
I guess you might call me a "pop" musician, but when I started making music, I was aiming for something a little experimental. Something heavy, and haunting. Pop was never on my radar. As a producer, I got to compose my own worlds and landed in a sweetly twisted amalgamation of both. I've been told that my music is difficult to place, so I'm partial to the terms "ineffable pop," or "neuroplastic pop," but to me, the genre is irrevlevant. My music is about taking my feelings and using them to build individual worlds, a dramatized version of my life turned into something beautiful.
Or, something silly like that.
EVERY RAT WANTS TO CRAWL IN YOUR MOUTH AND CLEAN YOUR TEETH (2025)
Her sophomore EP EVERY RAT WANTS TO CRAWL IN YOUR MOUTH AND CLEAN YOUR TEETH, is a tale of classic heartbreak with an experimental twist. Written partially during 2020 quarantine and spiritually inspired by arthouse horror films and the postmodern novel House of Leaves, EVERY RAT filters emotional collapse through seismic sonic shifts, where soundscapes mutate from ethereal adagios into explosive breakdowns that cohere through GLITCHLETTE’s dynamic vocal hooks.
The EP sat unreleased for five years as Marceau left an abusive relationship and weathered the effects of career shifts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The original files were lost, leaving Marceau only with the demos. “I decided to release these versions instead of remaking them because they’re a perfect snapshot of my emotional urgency in the moment I wrote them,” Marceau says. “I’d rather they sound unpolished than unrecognizable.”
On EVERY RAT, GLITCHLETTE writes about heartbreak the way some describe horror: as complete existential devastation. Each track is a different act of one narrative: a lovelorn romantic's futile search for freedom from obsession, capturing the internal terror of being haunted by something, or someone, you can’t have.
Though softer in sound than a typical slasher score, EVERY RAT lovingly borrows from the language of cinema: tension and release, tonal shifts and left-turn plot twists. It carries the emotional viscera and ethos of psychological horror — the monster is never seen, only felt.
