Michael Smyth, known for his work with Virgins, steps into his own sonic realm with Silk, a solo project that leans into the heavier, more immersive side of shoegaze. His debut single, Faze, is a haze of molten guitars, submerged vocals, and dense layers of reverb-drenched distortion—blurring the line between sound and subconscious.
With every element crafted solely by Smyth, from the songwriting to the production and visual aesthetics, Faze embodies the raw, unfiltered essence of personal artistic expression. The track exists in that fleeting space between waking and dreaming, where words dissolve into atmosphere and time loses its weight. An ode to the urgency of creation in the face of fleeting existence, Faze is both hypnotic and heavy, a wall of sound that lingers long after the last note fades.
