Virgins have quickly become one of Ireland's most promising rising bands, flying the flag for Irish shoegaze since their sold out and critically acclaimed debut EP ‘transmit a little heaven’ in 2022. They return with a momentous new single ‘s o f t er’. Already a live fan favourite, 's o f t e r' is a shoegaze tour de force built around a looping lead riff and the ethereal yearning vocals of Rebecca Dow, while gargantuan walls of dense, beautiful reverbs and dreamy fuzz, transport the listener to a world of abstract beauty and bliss.
The single accompanies the announcement of their eagerly anticipated debut album, ‘nothing hurt and everything was beautiful’ due out April 11th via Blowtorch Records on a pressing of 300 starburst vinyl.
