Iress has developed with time, constantly experimenting with new sound components while highlighting Michelle Malley's vocals, which are equal parts strong and delicate. The band's new full length, Sleep Now, In Reverse, is out through Dune Altar, and all of its preceding singles showed off how Iress' artistry continues to grow, with their consistently heavy and emotional sound playing a major role.
Lovely (Forget Me Not), the single which coincides with the album's release, undoubtedly contains aspects from nineties alternative and grunge, together with the familiar sound of Iress. The vocals and lyrics of the track, while a little more upbeat and more vibrant than what one would usually expect from the band, still manage to easily convey a sense of gloom which runs throughout the new album's entirety.
