Band: VIRGINS
Who: Belfast-based shoegaze band who transcend that reductive tag to deliver a noise which is thrillingly loud and weightily light. Out now is slowly, long, the much anticipated follow up to Transmit A Little Heaven their brilliant debut EP.

New single: S O F T E R
First shared piece of their upcoming debut album nothing hurt and anything was beautiful, out on April 11th via Blowtorch Records.

TUTV: Softer is a psychedelic shoegaze stunner, a multi-layered symphony propelled
by about a thousand guitars, a mindboggling bass riff, and combative drums, while Rebecca Dow‘s ghostly vocals scrape the sky. What a titanic thrill.

The decibels don’t go softer, they go harder, building a brobdingnagian wall of breathtaking sonority. This is an amazing piece of bone-chilling music, a masterly harbinger for the Virgins‘ upcoming LP.
