{{pull quote|Rock quartet Glintshake started with a few simple and fast songs in the spirit of the nineties slacking alternative – on the new album the band played harder and more inventive, because of what it's natural to compare them with Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine. Glintshake promise to make a "magic and hypnosis session", and thanks to their new songs it sounds very believable. The current Glintshake is not going to spare the listeners – they sound noisy, violent, but at the same time very beautiful.|source=Afisha{{cite web|url=http://volna.afisha.ru/sounds/bosco-fresh-fest-sun-rooms-behemoth-glintshake-den-vinila/|title=Концерты недели.

Early in 2015, Glintshake re-recorded the song "Mu" from the Nano Banana EP in Russian. According to Shilonosova, the original English text had little overlap with the Russian lyrics, but its meaning and general atmosphere were not changed.{{Cite web|author = Биргер, Катя.|title = Женский сборник "Girls on Fire": новая песня Glintshake|url = http://www.wonderzine.com/wonderzine/entertainment/entertainment-news/204555-glintshake|date = 27 February 2015|website = Wonderzine|accessdate = 9 January 2016|archive-date = 27 January 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160127043226/http://www.wonderzine.com/wonderzine/entertainment/entertainment-news/204555-glintshake|url-status = live}} The re-recorded version of "Мu" and "New Year of Hate" were released on the deluxe version of Nano Banana in June.{{Cite web|title = Nano Banana EP (Deluxe edition)|url = http://www.peeep.us/598ae2dd|date =26 May 2015|publisher = Glintshake|accessdate =9 January 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160125190634/http://www.peeep.us/598ae2dd|archive-date =25 January 2016|url-status = dead}} In September, a music video for the song "Wrong Anthem" was released, created by the illustrator Alexander Kostenko.{{Cite web|author = Сколков, Саша|title = Премьера: Видео группы Glintshake "Wrong Anthem"|url = http://www.furfur.me/furfur/culture/premiere/215035-glintshake|date = 24 September 2015|website = Furfur|accessdate = 9 January 2016|archive-date = 26 January 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160126114649/http://www.furfur.me/furfur/culture/premiere/215035-glintshake|url-status = live}}

At the same time, the band announced that "good old Glintshake is coming to an end, but new and evil one is starting off".{{Cite web|title = Концерт в "Конструкторе"|url = http://www.peeep.us/df96f9a8|date =18 September 2015|publisher = Glintshake|accessdate =9 January 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160125191451/http://www.peeep.us/df96f9a8|archive-date =25 January 2016|url-status = dead}} In an interview with the website Furfur, Gorbunov said that the band had decided to withdraw from 1990s alternative rock influence, stop singing in English and make a full turn in work: "…We've got a whole bunch of our own stuff: Zvuki Mu, russian avant-garde." In October, Glintshake released a single from an upcoming album, the song "Без пятнадцати пять" (Bez pyatnadtsati pyat', A quarter to five) along with a music video.{{Cite web|author = Сколков, Саша.|title = Премьера клипа Glintshake — перерождение шумной рок-группы|url = http://www.furfur.me/furfur/culture/premiere/215341-glintshake|date = 21 October 2015|website = Furfur|accessdate = 9 January 2016|archive-date = 27 January 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160127024720/http://www.furfur.me/furfur/culture/premiere/215341-glintshake|url-status = live}} In November, "Тени" (Teni, Shadows) was released.{{Cite web|title = Новинки: Glintshake – Тени|url = http://radiofactory.ru/track/novinki-glintshake-teni|date = 16 November 2015|website = Radio Factory|accessdate = 9 January 2016|archive-date = 26 January 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160126091928/http://radiofactory.ru/track/novinki-glintshake-teni|url-status = dead}}

In 2016, the band released an album of songs in Russian called ОЭЩ МАГЗИУ — a cryptic acronym in Russian, which can be transliterated in English as OESCH MAGZIU.

In 2018, Glintshake's cover of Talking Heads' song "Psycho Killer" was used in the film Leto.{{Cite web|url=https://www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/interviews/p=49776|title=Interviews – In Writing |website=The Wire|access-date=14 March 2019}}
