Skyless

Formed in 2024, Skyless is a band from Dublin whose sound lies in a heavy blend of distorted guitars alongside haunting and ethereal vocal melodies. Their sentimental lyrics explore themes of longing, connection and introspection, resulting in lush walls of sound characterstic of the shoegaze and dream pop genres. The band’s influences cover a range of acts through various genres including Sonic Youth, Cocteau Twins, The Cranberries and Slowdive, which lends to their candid and experimental songwriting style. Garnering inspiration from 90's alternative rock and it's subsequent influence on the Japanese music scene, Skyless’ music lives in a dream-like soundscape that uses nostalgic imagery from a more analogue era to feel both comfortingly familiar and exploratory.
