Left Iris confront chaos and clarity on blistering new single ‘Escitalopram’

Dublin trio Left Iris make a bold entrance with ‘Escitalopram’, a raw, genre-blurring anthem that channels the highs, lows, and side effects of modern mental health struggles. Fusing shoegaze shimmer, alt-rock grit, and synth-laced pop, the track is as emotionally charged as it is sonically ambitious.

Written in the haze of a first week on antidepressants, ‘Escitalopram’ captures that surreal in-between: moments of manic energy crashing into sudden quiet, the guilt of not feeling okay, and the fragile attempt to make sense of it all. Vocals teeter between urgency and resignation, wrapped in gauzy guitars and distorted synths that echo the chaos within.

It’s angst-ridden. Androgynous. Vulnerable. And loud in all the right places.

For fans of M83, Wolf Alice, and early Placebo, Left Iris are already proving themselves as a band unafraid to say the quiet parts out loud, and make them ring.
