With heavy shoegaze tones, Silk, deliver their debut single, Faze. An emerging voice on the Irish music scene the band is the new solo project from Virgins guitarist/songwriter, Michael Smyth.
Leaning into the heavier end of shoegaze spectrum, Faze
, blends guitars drenched with chorus and reverb. Smyth's vocals are purposely buried in the mix, creating an extra layer of sound more than the lyrical message.
Silk finds Michael solely responsible for the writing, performing, recording, producing and mixing, as well as the art and associated visuals. Explaining the impetus for the project the artist says;
I constantly feel like I am rushing towards the inevitable infinite oblivion. Further exacerbated by the marking of years spent circling the sun. To that end, it's important that I fill the time remaining with joyous, creative acts. The sharing of ideas is an essential part of that, which brings us to Silk.
The single, Faze is available through all streaming platforms.
