Artist
Glyn Styler is a New Orleans-based vocalist in the tradition of Scott Walker, Leonard Cohen, Iggy Pop, and Laura Nyro. With microphone clenched in one hand and a martini in the other, he sings searing songs about lost love, betrayal and loneliness that come straight from his broken heart -- or, rather, from the heart of Brent Newman, Glyn's creator. Recordings include Live at the Mermaid Lounge (1997), recorded at the New Orleans music club of the same name, and The Desperate Ones, a 1998 EP on which he sings a duet cover of Jacques Brel's song The Desperate Ones with Lydia Lunch. By day, Brent is a reclusive, middle-aged mattress salesman who describes his nights lived as his alter-ego. Glyn Styler, as a way "to free myself from my history."
