Let’s be real for a moment: to those familiar with Iress’ music, Sleep Now, In Reverse is highly unsurprising. For the past few years, the Californian outfit has been trading in doomgaze of a quality their peers could only dream of achieving, and this new album is no exception. It’s a deeply gorgeous if intimidating project, solidifying the band’s status as one of the most criminally overlooked ones active right now.
Building upon 2020’s Flaw and last year’s all too brief Solace, this new record presents ten more expansive glimpses into Iress’ world. It’s the kind of album where almost every song could work as an opening or closing track, with several jaw-dropping moments sprinkled all throughout. Cuts like “Mercy” follow a traditional formula of carefully working towards a grand, explosive climax, but the way it explores several textures prior to such expected payoffs feels consistently fresh.
