Shoegaze/noise rock upstarts Anemoia release expansive new single

Originating in Co. Mayo, Ireland, shoegaze band, Anomoia, early years began with shaping their sound through tape machines before evolving into a heavier, slacker-infused force. These early recordings found a home in an underground Soundcloud scene, where a like-minded community helped shape their direction.

Following on the heels of their single, Threads, released in July 2024, the band has earned a loyal fanbase, landing themselves on multiple playlists and featured in music blogs.

Now based in Dublin, the band channels film, fleeting experiences, and everyday melancholy into their music, where vocals drift as another instrument in the mix, which can be heard on their new single, Cowboy.

Cowboy, drifts through a haze of co-dependency. Written originally as 16 verses on Enniscrone beach - the track explores the old Irish diaspora in London, the melody was soon encompassed by the band in an afternoon. Titled Cowboy as an in-rehearsal joke, it caught on contextually with the beguiling & cyclical nature of the song.

As the first glimpse into an upcoming body of work from anemoia, it sets the tone for a world shaped by substances, vices and the weight of where you've come from, even when you're miles away.

The single, Cowboy, is available through all streaming platforms.
