Early life and education Aaron Marsh was born in Eugene, Oregon. When he was a year old, his family moved to Lakeland, Florida. While there, he formed the band evAngel with bassist and backup singer James Likeness and guitarist Thomas Blair. In 2001, Marsh attended Florida Southern College where he and Likeness formed the band that became Copeland. Copeland completed a farewell tour in early 2010.

The Lulls in Traffic In 2011, Marsh started The Lulls in Traffic, an indie-rock and hip-hop band, with Russian/Los Angeles lyricist and visual artist Ivan Ives. Marsh calls it his "skewed view" of underground hip-hop. The announcement stated that the band was working on its fifth album, Ixora, at The Vanguard Room in Lakeland, Florida. On the record, Marsh is credited with lead vocals, backing vocals, piano, synthesizer, programming, Mellotron, guitar, bass guitar, trombone, and percussion. Copeland released its seventh album, Revolving Door, on September 16, 2022. Revolving Door is a best-of album arranged with a symphony orchestra.

Glaswing In 2021, Marsh began a solo project under the name Glaswing. His album, I'm in the Checkout Line of My Life / Like Water on a Glass Table features lo-fi songs written by Marsh that feature his vocals and electronic music.

Other work Marsh also has worked as a film composer. His credits include the 2013 film Worm, the 2014 film A Bottle's Odyssey, and the 2018 film Shed.

Marsh produced Anchor & Braille's debut album, Felt, which was released on August 4, 2009. His production was praised by both AbsolutePunk and Alternative Press in their reviews of the album.

Style and influences Marsh says his early musical influences were from the local Lakeland music scene, including Divine Child (aka Denison Marrs), Pilots V. Aeroplanes, and nora's breakfast club. He says Radiohead is his favorite band "of all time". Some of his non-indie rock influences are The Lulls, Madlib, Dilla, Squarepusher, and Aphex Twin.
