“Erica Glyn… an indie rocker who will no doubt rise to the top of your radar very, very soon” – Diffuser
“A true tour-de-force, Erica is a whirlwind of ideas with an attitude to match.” – The Deli Magazine
“‘Dollars for Thieves’ is an inspiring venture into new realms of creativity that safer mainstream music has yet to attempt. Her sound is distinctly Brooklyn, and the tracks’ kooky ‘trip-hop meets rocktronica’ genre is about the most accurate description I could imagine for the album’s sound.” – The Hoya
On January 27th, 2015 Brooklyn-based rocktronica/trip-hop artist and audio engineer/producer extraordinaire, Erica Glyn, released her highly anticipated EP, Dollars For Thieves. The new project further explores Erica’s gritty, emotive, and outside-the-box signature sound. Erica produced the project herself, and engineered the majority of it enlisting the help of master music makers John Ginty (Citizen Cope, Jewel), Shazad Ismaily (Lou Reed, Tom Waits), Joe Tomino (Matisyahu, Dub Trio), and more, with mixes done by Erica and Charley Hustle (The Hustle Standard) and mastering by Mike Rogers (Sinead O’Connor, Mark Anthony). Dollars For Thieves contains a good mixture of upbeat tracks as well as some slower kaleidoscopic ballads, thus demonstrating Erica’s broad range of talent. Glyn even released album teaser video to give fans an inside look at her unique recording process. Today Erica has teamed up with Under The Gun Review for the exclusive unveiling of her “Make It Right” lyric video. The video features animation from Ian S. Ross (1975-2006) a filmmaker, photographer, musician and artist from Boston and NYC. His art is a unique mix of humor, rock and roll culture and random personal interactions. Ian never missed a minute.
When asked about the inspiration behind “Make It Right”, Erica explained, “In a broad stroke, the song is about making choices in life and pushing oneself to make better, bolder ones. Sometimes I think it seems easier to remain in the status quo, and easier to be passive when in actuality if you just push yourself a little, we find that it’s better on the other side. This song is trying to encourage/challenge us to dare to break bad behavioral cycles. I am honored to have the permission of the Ross family to incorporate Ian’s work with mine. I think they compliment one another with depth and grace.”

Erica’s 2013 EP, “The Glyn That Stole Christmas,” was refreshing and interesting take on traditional Christmas songs including a rendition of “Winter Wonderland” with NYC Billboard-Charting artist/producer Charley Hustle (The Hustle Standard). To go along with the EP, Erica and Charley created an incredible DIY video that captured the essence of Christmas with purchases from the Goodwill and adorable handmade sets.
