Album Info
Following the release of singles Code and Uncompleted last year, Voids are releasing their debut album 'Swoon'.
The forthcoming album promises a selection of tracks immediately recognisable as Voids, with strong melodic hooks and deep brooding basslines, yet sonically more dense, diverse and sophisticated. The album sits in the sonic space that lies between FKA Twigs and the Cocteau Twins, featuring lush vocals, processed bass guitar, and textured beats.
'Swoon' is set to be available on April 12th across major streaming platforms.
Written, Recorded & Produced by Voids
Mixed & Mastered by Chris Crehan
Biography
Galway-based electronic duo Voids (Andrew Madec, Alison McDonnell-White) first burst onto the scene in 2014 with their dark blend of electro-pop in the form of debut EP, 'Begin' released on the Fly High Society label.
Described as “beautifully dark and spacious” (Om Unit) 'Begin' was characterised by a minimalist setup using primarily electric bass, voice and beats processed in various ways. Live looping was central to their process and this release was born out of their live sets. Since then, Voids have focused their efforts primarily in the studio, refining and developing their voice in new ways.
After a lengthy hiatus, they returned in May 2023 with 'Code' described by 2FM radio presenter Jenny Greene as "a little gem". Their long-awaited debut LP is set for release on April 12th.
PRESS QUOTES
“The duo released their debut EP ‘Begin’ back in late September (2014) and upon first listen its easy to hear the stripped back, softly spoken two piece ensemble and draw similarities to contemporaries such as The XX, Daughter or some of the newer Warpaint stuff, but its undeniable they are bringing their own personal charm to the table as well with this well written and masterfully produced collection of tracks”
- Bite the Belt
“This decision to deliver a debut release that leans more towards tone and mood than impact and urgency is a bold choice. Instead of instantly grabbing the attention, the music is allowed gradually creep-up on the listener. And given the duo’s ability to create enthralling sonic backdrops, this proves to be the right choice”
