Fresh out of Dublin, Skyless have emerged with a stunning, deeply atmospheric shoegaze sound, one that blends ethereal textures with a powerful grunge edge. Their latest single, Gasoline, marks a bold evolution in the band’s sound, embracing a darker, heavier tone which feels quite direct, and also compelling.
Gasoline is a gripping fusion of grunge and shoegaze, mixed with touches of emo and post punk. For this new offering, the band cites inspiration from the likes of Basement, Smashing Pumpkins, and My Bloody Valentine.
The beautiful track delves into the emotional wreckage left behind by a volatile, self-destructive relationship. It is a rather intense, immersive listen that puts Skyless on the current shoegaze map for good.
