I'm Kyle and I write my bios in the first person.

​

Glorious Leader is my solo project that came into being after nearly a decade with my band, The Anatomy of Frank. I've been playing music since preschool and have been officially in the game since college, when I realized I couldn't function without music being the primary driver in my life.

​

My music tends to celebrate the far north — things like dark winters, blizzards, and small cabins heated by wood stoves inspire me greatly. My music career has centered, oddly enough, around Reykjavik Iceland, which is where most of my musical friends live. I was born in Virginia but moved to Vermont in 2017 to build my own house in the woods.

 

I also got to help my brother build the Analog Cabin, a true log cabin that's become my recording studio and reading room. I do most of my recording there, though I also collaborate with incredible people in other places. 
 

Having debuted with 'My Kingdom' in January 2020, I released my sophomore EP 'Glorious Leader & The Analog Cabin Mystery' on March 31, 2021. Recorded entirely during quarantine, this EP was the result of a European tour being canceled by COVID. It is a journey centered around the meaning of home and our complex relationships with it.

​

Glorious Leader: How I Made my First Million was released in October 2024. Recorded partly in The Analog Cabin and partly at E7 studios in Reykjavik, Iceland, this EP is a dense nugget of pop bangers and melancholy disguised in glitter.

More to come.
