BLOWTORCH RECORDS
A BOUTIQUE IRISH RECORD LABEL FOR BANDS OF DISTINCTION
Latest vinyl releases from Blowtorch Records
In Athens release new single Tides
Galway alt-gaze outfit In Athens have released the second single Tides from their upcoming debut EP Mirrorism which will be released on 12” vinyl via Blowtorch Records on October 24. Lyrically rooted in the push and pull of emotional misalignment, Tides paints a vivid portrait of relationships out of sync: someone reaching out against another pulling away. Built on a hypnotic foundation, Tides draws from both the raw intensity of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the shadowy vulnerability of Just Mustard, swelling and receding like the sea itself — all tension, no resolution.
