Indie rock artist Jody Glenham is known for her cinematic songwriting and emotionally resonant “mood rock,” a sound that blends hazy guitars, melodic sensibility, and introspective lyricism. In 2020, she released an album entitled Mood Rock, which firmly introduced this signature sound. Her songs have received national airplay on CBC Radio, Canada’s public broadcaster, with “Talking Out Loud” placed into rotation on Rich Terfry’s The Drive and featured on Canada Listens, while several other tracks from Mood Rock received additional CBC support on Afterdark (“The Sound”, “War On This World”) and Nightstream (“War On This World”, “Flowers”). “Friday Night Lights” was also featured on an episode of Tapestry (CBC).

 

More recently, her single “Overtime” was added to rotation on SiriusXM’s The Verge, a North American satellite radio channel dedicated to emerging and independent artists. The track currently sits at #7 on the station’s charts alongside artists such as Mitski and Geese. Her single “The Local” was also added to CBC’s Afterdark rotation.

 

The Vancouver-based musician’s songs have appeared in numerous television series, including the Netflix productions Snowpiercer (“Flowers”), Tiny Pretty Things (“Ill Wind”), The Order (“Talking Out Loud”), and My Life with the Walter Boys (“Talking Out Loud”), introducing Glenham’s music to global streaming audiences. Her song “Ill Wind” was featured in the first season of Tiny Pretty Things in 2021 while the show was the #1 streaming series internationally.

 

Glenham’s 2020 album Mood Rock charted in the Top 50 on Canadian college radio and was considered for the 2021 Polaris Music Prize long list. Released during the first summer of the global pandemic, the record captured the emotional landscape of the moment and continues to resonate with listeners. Her work has been featured by publications including NME and Refinery29, while American Songwriter described Glenham’s music as sounding “as if she composes from the very elements in the air and atmosphere around us.”

 

As a live performer, Glenham has appeared at festivals and showcase events across North America including SXSW (Austin, 2016), Sled Island (Calgary, 2022), Canadian Music Week (Toronto), and Vancouver’s Khatsahlano Festival. She has shared stages with artists such as Noah Kahan at Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom (2021), bar italia (2021), and Canadian mainstays Dan Mangan, Hannah Georgas, and Chad VanGaalen.

 

Beyond her solo work, Glenham has also contributed as a musician for other artists, most notably performing with Louise Burns (Light Organ Records, formerly of Lillix) for nearly a decade and touring internationally with the project. This included a performance at NH7 Festival in Pune, India, presented by Bacardi, in 2018. She is also currently a member of the Vancouver band FRANKIIE, signed to Paper Bag Records.

 

Glenham’s creative reach extends beyond music. International footwear designer John Fluevog Shoes honoured her by naming both a shoe (“The Glenham”) and the “Jody” handbag after the musician, reflecting her influence within Vancouver’s creative community.

 

Her forthcoming self-produced EP Still Here will be released April 24, 2026. Author Niko Stratis wrote of the record, “Jody Glenham holds time in her palm on Still Here, an EP that cradles each song like a memory.” The EP continues Glenham’s exploration of emotional resilience, vulnerability, and modern city life through her signature emotive songwriting.
