Iress – Doomgazers Channel King Woman With Crushing New Single “Blush” [Exclusive]
One of my favorite underground bands over the past few years is Iress, the Los Angeles-based doomgaze band gearing up for the release of a brand new EP next month.
Vocalist Michelle Malley has been dubbed the “Adele of Doom” by her LA music peers Iress has generated a tremendous underground following since their 2nd self-released album, 2020’s must-hear Flaw.
The band returned from a long pandemic show break with a sold-out headlining show at LA venue The Echo and have now shared exclusively with Bloody Disgusting “Blush”, the latest track on their forthcoming EP, Solace, arriving May 12 via Dune Altar Records!
“‘Blush’ was the first song I wrote the bulk of on my own since joining the Iress, so I was kind of nervous to share it with the band,” said guitarist Graham Walker. “It was a fun new challenge to write in my own voice while also capturing the Iress sound that I’ve been a fan of for years. I remember being really excited when Michelle sent the demo back with her vocals… I immediately thought to myself, ‘Wow this is it’”
“It felt magical how naturally ’Blush’ came together,” exclaimed Michelle Malley. “I fell in love with Graham’s guitar, and the lyrics might just be my favorite on the EP. To me, this song feels like a turning point for Iress.”
On “Blush”, Malley channels doom legends King Woman, while the forthcoming EP itself is a powerhouse that’s soaked in a heavy dose of 90s grunge, calling back to bands like Alice in Chains and Deftones.
Here’s the new single, “Blush”!
