Irish psychedelic pop band Flywheel bring a hazy, atmospheric quality to CryBaby, blending their shoegaze roots with a darker, more expansive alternative sound. The track surrounds its vocals with layers of swirling guitars, dreamy textures and a gently psychedelic atmosphere, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and contemporary. There is a strong sense of melancholy beneath the surface, while the band’s approach keeps the song immersive rather than overly polished. As a band originally formed in Cork and influenced by 90s shoegaze alongside more experimental and modern alternative acts, Flywheel have developed a distinctive sound that sits comfortably between dreamy psychedelia and noisier indie rock. CryBaby is a compelling return from a band whose long history adds another layer to its atmospheric character.
