Silk

Artist shoegaze

About

Silk is the new project from Virgins guitarist/songwriter, Michael Smyth, with Michael as the sole contributor in Silk, he is responsible for the writing, performing and recording of the music.

The result is a sound defined by swathes of dreamy distortion juxtaposed against beautiful shimmering passages while Michael's vocals are treated as a texture amongst the emotive soundscape. This creates a wall of sound for the listener to bathe in, equal parts heavy as it is floaty and ethereal.

"Shoegaze needs bands that take risks with noise and feeling. Silk is doing both. Cementing them as one of the most essential new acts' - ๐’๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐œ ๐’๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐‚๐ฅ๐ฎ๐›
