Three Kings

The stalwart Los Angeles-based dream metal band, Iress will release their new album ‘Sleep Now, In Reverse’ on 26th July 2024 via Church Road Records (ROW) and Dune Altar (USA).

Iress’ music is the sonic equivalent of standing on a beach as a tidal wave approaches — aware of certain devastation, yet transfixed and grateful to witness something so terrifyingly beautiful. Drawing inspiration from dark, yet commanding elements including metal, shoegaze, and slowcore, their music presents a cinematic crescendo that swells with intensity and wanes with sorrow.

Iress formed in the musical crucible of Los Angeles in 2010. Frontwoman Michelle Malley, dubbed “the Adele of Doom” by LA music peers, possesses vocals that range from an enveloping smokey warmth to anguished belting, revealing an emotional depth that arrests with unbelievable restraint and control. The band, composed of bassist Michael Maldonado, drummer Glenn Chu, and guitarist Graham Walker, have fostered a chemistry that translates seamlessly to the stage. Their live performances are intentional and dynamic, leaving audiences stunned to silence, moved to tears, and immersed in a satisfying amount of crushing distortion.

Over the years Iress has evolved, always exploring new dimensions in their sound, yet always showcasing Malley’s equally fragile and ferocious vocals. Their intentionality in crafting concise songs, each flickering into existence with magnificent intensity, aligns with nuanced storytelling.

Iress seamlessly weaves layers of crushing guitars, atmospheric textures, and brooding rhythms, creating a sonic tapestry that blends darkness and beauty. With their upcoming LP, Sleep Now, In Reverse, and an international touring schedule in 2024, Iress invites listeners to be transported to a realm where darkness and beauty intertwine.

We spoke to vocalist Michelle Malley about the new album, what it has taken to get to this point, and what made this specific album so special for the band. We also delve into their upcoming live performances, and Michelle takes on the Ozzy Osbone randomised section.

When it comes to audio processing, sometimes happy mistakes can transform your sound in surprising ways. But more often than not, you need a precise surgical tool to sculpt audio and make it spring to life. Ditch the guess work and enter the era of sonic precision with DYNAWIDE. This plugin combines the accumulated wisdom of a team of experienced sound engineers in a single, intuitively designed tool kit. Far from a one-trick audio pony, this is a multiband sculpting suite designed to revolutionise the way you approach mixing.

Breathe life into any audio, from delicate percussion to earth-shaking bass lines. Achieve pristine stereo width and depth while maintaining perfect clarity, ensuring every element sits perfectly in the mix. Use DYNAWIDE on individual tracks, your mix bus, or master channel for stunning results. Restore lacklustre recording takes or elevate your existing mixes with calibrated controls over tonal balance. Ditch the "good enough" mixes and unlock your audio's true potential with a tool that’s not just a multiband plugin, but the key to transforming your tracks from everyday to extraordinary. 

Crossovers & Tonal Balance

DYNAWIDE's multiband faders feature a massive +/- 24dB range, allowing you to sculpt the tonal balance of any audio. Achieve a wider range of sonic possibilities than simple cutting and boosting by combining these faders with other powerful onboard features. Unlock the power of precision with the multiband crossover controls of DYNAWIDE, all user-controllable. Whether you prefer the transparency of linear phase or the classic warmth of analog minimum phase, DYNAWIDE gives you the flexibility to sculpt your sound exactly how you envision it. Swap between modes with just one button, and use the frequency adjustment to decide exactly where the bands cross. 

Expand & Contract

Traditional stereo enhancers often come at the cost of a muddy and problematic mid signal. DYNAWIDE is different, featuring innovative processing that can keep your centre image intact. Unleash spectacular stereo width without sacrificing mono compatibility with per-band width controls. Additionally, the Width Limit buttons act as safety nets, in most cases preventing the sides from overpowering the mids even during extreme width adjustments. This ensures your mixes will sound incredible on any playback system.

Saturate & Separate

Breathe warmth and depth into your mixes without sacrificing detail or control. DYNAWIDE's Heat knobs add harmonic richness to specific frequencies, enhancing your sound without compromising transient response. Depth controls offer boosted convolution from a classic analog compressor feel. This creates a front-to-back expansion effect, eliminating dryness and adding depth for powerful sound staging. Pan knobs manipulate the stereo placement of individual frequencies. For example, you can adjust pre-made loops or complex mixes by panning frequency bands.
