about

Virgins are a Belfast based shoegaze band comprised of Michael Smyth and Brook-Valentine Lorimer. Virgins were born after a lust to satiate a musical thirst. Michael is responsible for the instrumentation, song writing, the lyrics and melodies. Having known Brook from the hedonistic days of youth, a chance encounter brought them together again. Michael asked Brook to join and now they form the core of the band.

Vows is an ethereal warning against being coerced into actions simply to appease the needs and wants of others when these couldn't be any further from your own desires. Like being warned in a weightless dream, through a haze of colour and smoke. Trying to retain that knowledge when you awaken in your own hazy reality. Musically, the track is equally dense and beautiful, Guitars drenched in layers of fuzz and reverb create an impenetrable wall of sound. Brooks vocals are a whisper in your ear of a long forgotten ghost laden with regret, melancholia and a desire to return to a more innocent time.
Jonny Woods of Wynona Bleach recorded and produced the track. Even joining the band on bass for the recording.

lyrics

Trace of sin
Awaken in
So never sleep
Dream of days

Secret smiles
Narrow escapes
Sinking in
Oblivion
To feel at ease

Swaying, feeling surreal for days
Dissension, but not from the mouths of babes
Inscribed divine, the vows wrap around my tongue
Moments lost, can we finish what we begun

Runs in red
As testament
Swallow design
A sacred rite

Deafening
The din of mouths
Coalesce
In seraphims
To feel at ease
