About Glitch&Gold

A first memory of music

Independent music. Shared discovery.

Glitch&Gold is an independent music magazine and discovery platform connecting artists, listeners and the stories behind the music. Americana and indie sit at its heart, with folk, roots, country, blues and soul woven throughout.

Our work brings together editorial storytelling, playlist curation, guest writers and photography collaborations. Across the magazine, playlists and visual features, we give distinctive artists and worthwhile records room to be heard.

What we do

Artist interviews, release spotlights, music news and concert stories offer a closer look at the people and places shaping music. Our curated playlists carry that discovery into everyday listening, from fresh releases to personal selections and deeper catalogues.

Editorial direction & contributors

Founded by Michel and Rick, Glitch&Gold combines editorial and creative direction with playlist curation and artist discovery. Guest writers contribute additional perspectives, while photography collaborations help bring the artists and their stories into view.

We value a clear editorial voice, thoughtful selection and a personal connection to music. Contributors and photographers are credited alongside their work.

Where it began

The spirit of Glitch&Gold reaches back to a family farmhouse, a handmade bar and records playing in the background. Blues, folk and songs that stayed with the people listening. That early sense of music as a meeting place still shapes the platform today.

Where music finds its people.
