Description: Iress rose to prominence when they published their album Flaw a few years ago, and they now have plans for releasing their new EP, Solace. The first example, Ricochet, is a very heavy and dark shoegazer which is drenched in melancholy and features excellent guitar work and lovely vocals. Frontwoman Michelle Malley says: "I feel emotional every time I sing ‘Ricochet’. I started writing it a couple years back during a really rough time in my life. When the band got their hands on it, it really transformed into something powerful. It’s a song about loss and anguish and the journey to self discovery and acceptance."
