The sonic equivalent of standing on a beach as a tidal wave approaches, listening to IRESS is to be aware of certain devastation, yet grateful to witness something so terrifyingly beautiful, and transfixed in anticipation for whatever happens next.
Formed in Los Angeles in 2010, IRESS employ dark, commanding elements of shoegaze, slowcore and metal, swelling in moments of cinematic-like crescendo. Dubbed the โAdele of Doomโ by her local LA music peers, frontwoman Michelle Malleyโs vocals have the power to envelop with smokey warmth, destroy with anguished belting, and arrest with unbelievable restraint. Bassist, Michael Maldonado, provides the much-needed anchor in the bewitching melodies and reverb, while drummer, Glenn Chu, pushes unrelentingly forward. Guitarist, Graham Walker, joined in 2022 instigating a new, more collaborative way of working for the band. This chemistry is undeniable on stage as the intentionality applied to live performances leaves audiences stunned to silence in moments, brought to tears in others when impaled by Malleyโs emotional screams, all the while supplying a satisfying amount of crushing distortion to head bang through.
The success of Iressโ newfound anatomy can also be heard in the exceptionally composed, staggering wave of doomgazey sound on the upcoming โSolaceโ EP, which tells the story of the brutal reality of change: inevitable, painful and beautiful. Available May 12, 2023 from eclectic Los Angeles record label DUNE ALTAR.
