Emerging as a beacon of Irish shoegaze, Virgins soar with their latest single s o f t e r, a celestial journey guided by Rebecca Dow’s ethereal vocals. Their sonic tapestry, woven with looping riffs and dense reverbs, envelops listeners in abstract beauty and bliss. Guitarists Michael Smyth and David Sloan intertwine shimmering accents and lush textures, while James Foy’s thunderous drums and Brendy McCann’s fuzzed-out bass anchor the ethereal voyage. Accompanied by the announcement of their debut album, nothing hurt and everything was beautiful, Virgins showcase a diverse sonic palette, seamlessly shifting between gaze-pop and dance influences.
With a fresh and contemporary approach, Virgins redefine the boundaries of shoegaze, cementing their status as one of Ireland’s most promising bands.
