Hailing from the rugged meeting point of Galway, Connemara and the Wild Atlantic, In Athens’ music boasts a powerful blend of fuzzy post-gaze nostalgia and razor-sharp post-punk energy. This creates an evocative soundscape that reflects the majestic beauty, raw power and shimmering tranquillity of their surroundings.

“There’s nostalgia in what we do, for sure – 90s alternative tones, a bit of shoegaze sprinkled here and there – but it’s not about looking back. We’re interested in contrast. Warmth and detachment. Collapse and control. We like when things feel familiar yet slightly off, in the same way that a vivid, lucid dream can sometimes feel”

Drawing on the untamed spirit of the Atlantic, In Athens channel this force into their debut EP “Mirrorism”. Recorded and produced at Darklands Audio Recording Studio by Dan Doherty (Fontaines DC, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Hope Sandoval), this 4 Track EP features expansive, intimate guitars, driving bass, hypnotic drums and hazy, 90s-inspired vocals. Their sound is both contemporary and timeless

MIRRORISM which will be released on 12” Vinyl through Blowtorch records, will be available at the bands upcoming Irish Tour in November 2025.
