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.

Album: NOTHING HURT AND ANYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL

Press info: “Gargantuan walls of dense, beautiful reverbs and dreamy fuzz transport
the listener to a world of abstract beauty and bliss. Michael Smyth and David Sloan’s
guitar complement each other perfectly, adding layers of shimmering choral accents,
glide guitar trem-arm rhythms, reverse reverbs and lush jet plane phaser sounds.

All driven by thunderous drums and anchored by gloriously fuzzed out bass. While
basking in this audio bath, Rebecca‘s vocals offer a guide point to navigate through
the hazy requiem.”

TUTV: Virgins take you on a flight at supersonic speed way up into the sky above the clouds, where reality becomes surreality, where layers of seventh heaven shoegaze symphonies blast from the plane’s speakers. For 40 phantasy-stimulating minutes you’ll forget all about what happens down there, on our dramatically disturbed planet.

We need to escape it all, now and then to stay sane, and that’s when these Belfast daydreamers are a great option to connect with. Layers of glowing guitars, hallucinatory vocals and an overall lyrical sonority will trigger your fantasies and will make you feel
going high(er) forgetting all about the daily, mind-boggling rat race.

Superb single s o f t e r
