Kevin Scott Davis Asia Dojnikowska.

Glowworm is the music of guitarist Kevin Scott Davis and pianist & vocalist Asia Dojnikowska. Though both are classically trained, together the pair opt to trade academic intellectualism for simple beauty, often with a melancholic gravity. This is evidenced by the duo’s restrained use of piano and ambient guitar textures, elevated to etheria by Dojnikowska’s soft and multilayered alto, a voice described by music producer James Plotkin as “a beacon of light.”

Though strongly influenced by a mixture of drum-less ambient and classical music, Glowworm’s history is also rooted in rock. The Coachlight Woods received worldwide acclaim upon its release for its atmospheric post-rock, recorded in 2007 by Davis with drummer Jesse Robert W. (both former members of the shoegaze band PacificUV). Davis’ music has since been featured extensively in national media, including HBO’s Californication and on the popular public radio program This American Life.

The duo’s latest album "Harvest" is set to release March 29th, 2024. The new album features the elegant, minimalist arrangements of piano, ambient guitar, and voice that have come to define the duo’s sound, elevated further by emotive string arrangements performed by friends and collaborators Annasara Lundgren (annasara) & Gerda Holmquist, Maciej Sadowski and Małgorzata Znarowska (Lowbow), and with mixing by Matthew Kidd (Slow Meadow).
