A Surf-Born Celebration Of Resilience And Revelry; New Single Sets The Stage For Anticipated Ep Release On April 24
Following the atmospheric success of his return to the airwaves, Southern Ontario singer-songwriter Shjaane Glover today announces the release of his vibrant new single, “Conjure This.” Out now, the track serves as the eponymous heartbeat of his forthcoming six-song EP, “Conjure This,” arriving April 24. Shifting from the introspective textures of his earlier work into a sun-drenched, rhythmic landscape, Glover delivers a high-energy indie-folk anthem that leans into the beautiful absurdity of staying present when life feels most unpredictable.
Written during a surf trip in Nicaragua, “Conjure This” was born from a striking emotional paradox. While standing on a beautiful beach, Glover found himself navigating heavy news from home—a contrast that transformed into a spirited “anthem to keep trucking on.” The track’s lyrical depth is mirrored in its catchy, bouncy rhythm, featuring a standout performance where Glover sings: “The air you breathe it is real / Don’t try to change how you taste it / Or tell me how to feel / I’ll try a new vacation yeah.” These lines encapsulate the song’s mission: a refusal to let external complications dampen the visceral experience of the moment.
The production, helmed by collaborator Craig Smith, marks a dynamic evolution in Glover’s sonic palette. Recorded at Smith’s studio, the track evolved from its original acoustic roots into a lush, full-band production. The arrangement is propelled by the infectious groove of drummer Jenna Applewhaite and the vibrant, life-affirming textures of Jay Stiles’ organ work, creating a sound that sits at the intersection of indie-alternative grit and folk-rock polish. This shift toward a more upbeat feel highlights Glover’s versatility as an artist capable of marrying complex emotions with undeniable melodies.

Media outlets will find a compelling story in the “paradox of paradise” that inspired the track—the universal human experience of finding joy amidst external chaos. Furthermore, the single’s creative origin story provides a vivid travel-based hook, as Glover’s songwriting continues to be deeply shaped by his experiential connection to geography, whether it be the shores of Central America or his home base of Collingwood by Georgian Bay. A third captivating angle lies in the upcoming music video, which leans into a playful, chaotic aesthetic that mirrors the song’s sense of disbelief, offering a visual departure from standard indie-folk tropes.
Based in Collingwood, Glover has built a reputation for music that lives at the junction of atmosphere and raw emotional clarity. His return is defined by a renewed sense of intention and a catalogue of songs built to last. Known for a high-energy stage presence that expands his studio recordings into immersive live events, Glover invites his audience to slow down and sit honestly with their feelings, even when those feelings are as complicated as black out in a tropical storm.
As the lead-up to the “Conjure This” EP intensifies, Glover is set to bring his dynamic energy to the stage with a hometown release show at Side Launch Brewing in Collingwood on April 24, as well as a summer appearance at the Fourwinds Music Festival on July 11. “Conjure This” is more than just a title track; it is a declaration of artistic arrival—a toast to the accolades of the present and a bold step into a luminous future.
