Jody Glenham’s New dream-pop single “Love Deficiency Syndrome” out now, New EP Still Here set to drop on April 24
Still Here, Jody Glenham’s self-produced EP, arriving April 24, 2026, marks a new chapter in her nearly two-decade career, centering on emotional endurance and creative maturity. Moving beyond the immediacy and mood of her past work, the collection emphasizes patience and presence, weaving hazy guitars, door-chime synths, and dreamy vocals into a cohesive, timeless set of songs. Lead single “Love Deficiency Syndrome” captures the awkward optimism of post-breakup rebirth, pairing a sunlit, mid-tempo bounce with what Glenham describes as “grinning through the pain.” Inspired by an article Lena Dunham wrote about ending a long-term relationship, the track is full of subtle nods: the opening synth-and-guitar hook evokes a drawn-out doorbell waiting for an Uber Eats delivery, and the bridge references computer shutdowns, reflecting both the autopilot of being in a relationship and the process of becoming whole again. “We leaned into really melodramatic imagery,” Glenham says, “as a nod to how a breakup can make you feel like ‘my life is ending,’ when really… you’re going to be just fine.” The result is bittersweet yet buoyant—heartbreak reframed with a confident sense of ease and forward motion.
For nearly twenty years, Jody Glenham has been a notable presence in Canada’s independent music scene. Her 2020 album Mood Rock earned national support from CBC Radio, charted on Canadian college radio, and was considered for the Polaris Music Prize long list, while her cinematic style of indie rock has landed syncs in Netflix series including Snowpiercer, Tiny Pretty Things, and My Life with the Walter Boys. Praised by outlets like NME, Refinery29, and American Songwriter—who wrote that it’s “as if she composes music from the very elements in the air and atmosphere around us”—Glenham’s work offers listeners permission to feel deeply without despair. American Songwriter also notes that she “holds time in her palm on Still Here, an EP that cradles each song like a memory,” a fitting description for an artist whose music consistently balances cinematic sweep with intimate reflection.
