In Athens emerge with stirring debut single ‘Or Anything’ from forthcoming EP ‘Mirrorism’
Galway-based newcomers In Athens introduce themselves with ‘Or Anything’, the first glimpse of their debut EP ‘Mirrorism’. Fusing fuzz-laden post-gaze textures with modern post-punk bite, the band crafts a sound both immersive and immediate, reflecting the wild beauty and quiet intensity of Ireland’s west coast.
Recorded and produced at Darklands Audio Dublin by Dan Doherty (Fontaines D.C., Hope Sandoval), the track leans into expansive guitars, woozy 90s-inspired vocals, and a layered atmosphere that feels equally nostalgic and forward-looking.
Rooted in a kind of philosophical defiance, ‘Or Anything’ explores the freedom found in meaninglessness: if nothing matters, then everything is possible. The track’s lyrical core is a call to action to live, create, and define your own path without fear. Both thoughtful and visceral, In Athens arrive with a fully formed identity and a sound that’s as emotionally resonant as it is sonically arresting.
‘Mirrorism’ is out later this year.
