GLAIVE’S DEBUT ALBUM I CARE SO MUCH
THAT I DONT CARE AT ALL OUT NOW ON INTERSCOPE RECORDS

CONFIRMS NEW U.S. DATES THIS FALL, EXTENSIVE HEADLINE TOUR KICKS OFF THIS MONTH

July 14, 2023—i care so much that i dont care at all, the debut album from 18-year-old breakout glaive, is out now on Interscope Records—listen to the LP, including lead single “17250,” here.

“It’s kind of strange to say but this feels like my life’s work,” says glaive. “All my teenage years have built up to whatever this is. I’m scared that it’s coming out because it’s so personal but being personal is the only way I know how to make music. When I started making music it was because my life was bad, and I thought it was going to be that way forever. I never imagined that making music would ever extend past being for myself and by myself, but I’m happy it did. I’m proud of what I said on this album and how I said it. thx for listening <3.”

In celebration of the new music, glaive confirms a string of new dates this fall. The artist will embark on an extensive North American tour this month with support from special guests Polo Perks, Origami Angel and Oso Oso, with stops at New York’s Webster Hall, Los Angeles’ The Wiltern, Chicago’s Metro and his hometown at Asheville’s The Orange Peel. Tickets are on sale now—see below for full routing.

i care so much that i dont care at all features a European video trilogy directed by Adrian Villagomez and shot in Georgia that spans previously-shared singles “the car”—named “an infectious joyride through imagined deception” by Ones to Watch—“all i do is try my best” and “as if.” The album’s tracks also includes “im nothing thats all i am,” released earlier this spring.

Produced with previous collaborators Jeff Hazin and Ralph Castelli, i care so much that i dont care at all is already receiving widespread critical praise from Billboard, The FADER, Brooklyn Vegan and more. Thematically, the album finds glaive turning inward, reflecting with blunt honesty about growing up and outgrowing his North Carolina hometown in what he calls his most personal songwriting to date.

The new music follows a monumental 2022 for glaive, which began with a supporting slot on The Kid LAROI’s European tour, followed by an extensive run of headline dates across the U.K. and U.S., and the release of two singles, “three wheels and it still drives!” and “minnesota is a place that exists.”

The artist’s three EPs to date—cypress grove, all dogs go to heaven (plus its deluxe edition old dog, new tricks) and then i’ll be happy with ericdoa—have received widespread critical acclaim, landing him at the top of Best Of lists from The New York Times, The FADER and more.

Growing up in the small town of Hendersonville, North Carolina, glaive was first drawn to the sounds of radio-friendly pop songs he’d listen to in the car with his mom, before his listening soon pulled him into the nascent world of SoundCloud rap. When the pandemic hit in 2020, he spent a month indoors, in his room with black-out curtains. It was out of this period that his first songs came to be. He collaborated with friends he met online, forming musical collectives and experimenting with production. His subsequent rise was meteoric, powered by a steady stream of new music that quickly earned him acclaim and a devoted following.
