Track of the Day: Coolgirl - 'Silverlight'

Lizzie Fitzpatrick has released her synth-infused debut single under her Coolgirl moniker this week, titled 'Silverlight'.

Fitzpatrick was the frontperson of Dublin grunge-rockers Bitch Falcon, whose founding members also included Nigel Kenny. They unveiled their debut album Staring At Clocks in 2020 following lineup changes since 2015, later disbanding with a farewell show in October 2021.

Taking a U-turn, the electronic-driven new single from Coolgirl is a shimmering offering that pushes and pulls sonically, creating an all-consuming ambience.

"'Silverlight' is a deep synth-wave track that encapsulates the feeling of being sucked into another person, another world, completely devoid of outside life," Coolgirl explains. "Heavy synth lines swirl around in a pit of muddy bass and relentless rhythm. I used vocals chopped up in a sequence that portray lost bits of conversations remembered suddenly and swiftly forgotten."

This is the first single to be taken from Coolgirl's upcoming EP, out later this year via Veta Records.

Catch Fitzpatrick live at Feile na Greine, Limerick on August 18th-19th.
