NEW SHOEGAZE FROM CANADA

6 From The Heights Of A Dream

Sending

Something Good Will Come Out of This

Following on from the success of their highly acclaimed debut album ‘nothing hurt and everything was beautiful’, Belfast shoegazers Virgins return with the release of their new single 'b l o o m s'. On ‘b l o o m s’, the band redefine their sound while exploring new emotional depths and expanding their sonic palette. Shimmering verses explode into swirling choruses, accented by reverse delays and glide guitar. The euphoria inducing crescendo of fuzz and siren vocals releases the pressure valve of tension cultivated throughout the track. The band worked with acclaimed producer Simon Francis (Kylie Minogue, Ellie Goulding, The Japanese House) to capture the track and for mastering turned to one of shoegaze greats Simon Scott of Slowdive. Virgins trade mark sound doesn't rely on genre tropes but brings a contemporary take to shoegaze, as walls of gargantuan fuzz, euphoric shimmering guitar leads and ethereal vocals guide the listener through the hazy sanctuary.

b l o o m s

Glow

A slow, cinematic, dream pop ballad that will want to make you cry but also holds you tight like a hug. “Froze” juxtaposes Dream-pop and Slowcore with catchy pop melodies that will float in your head. This song is about accepting defeat and not fighting against it. This song is suitable for fans of Duster and Alex G. Recorded and mixed by Jason Brum (Sham Family, Mappe Of), in a barn out in the country in Ontario, Canada.

Lyrics:
Up above under
Under a place that's
Below
Am I still breathing
Or am I in the ice age
You'll know

Freezing on empty
It won't be long till
I go
The stranger the feeling
Crawling against me
I'm froze

I've lost
The fight
Again
Despite
The way
It ends

Maybe Nothing

Waiting For Another

What Has Been and What Will Be is the title track from my forthcoming album of the same name.

Would you do it all again
If it meant that everything
would be exactly the same

For all the good and bad
Would you change anything?
Or live it just the same way
Over and over again?

If you take a look around
It's not always as it seems
Living in a bubble
that's coming apart at the seams

So maybe I'd change a few things
Maybe think a little more
About what will be
Less about what went before

Do you think it could be better?
Or is human fault baked in?
I've got to believe it could be

There's a whispering within
when you stop shutting out the world
It says it’s too late to go again
But it's never to late to begin

Caught in-between
What has been
And what will be
We can't intervene
In what has been
But we can write what will be
