Glowworm is the music of guitarist Kevin Scott Davis and pianist & vocalist Asia Dojnikowska. Though both are classically trained, with Dojnikowska formally studying classical piano for 12 years in Poland and Davis earning a degree in music composition in the US, together the pair opt to trade academic intellectualism for simple beauty. 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." Proclaimed as "exquisite" by Rhodium Publishing, Glowworm is "for anyone in search of either personal or musical peace."

Though strongly influenced by a mixture of drum-less ambient and classical music, Glowworm's history is also rooted in rock. Glowworm's debut album 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 Pacific UV). Davis' music has since been featured extensively in national media, including HBO's Californication and on the popular public radio program This American Life.

After initially working with Davis on the 2020 album "Midnight Intervals," Dojnikowska and Davis found such rapport both musically and spiritually that Dojnikowska was asked to become a full-time member in 2021. Over the next two years, amid many remixes and collaborations, a new full-length album was recorded, partially in Poland and partially in the US, this time leaning into their new sound as a duo, and largely centered around Dojnikowska's presence as a pianist and vocalist. "Whereas 'Midnight Intervals' was a somber reflection on the dark night of the soul, I always knew the next album was about the joy that comes in the morning," says Davis. An apt description of the duo's upcoming album, "Harvest" encapsulates this supremely in its palpable tenderness and emanation of light. The 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 & Gerda Holmquist (Annasara), Maciej Sadowski and Małgorzata Znarowska (LowBow), and with mixing by Matthew Kidd (Slow Meadow).
