Belfast-based multi-instrumentalists Rebecca Dow and David Sloan mark the start of an exciting new chapter with the release of their debut collaborative single, “Beneath You.” Out now, the track pairs haunting storytelling with dark, atmospheric production to create a deeply immersive, cinematic soundscape.
“Beneath You” showcases the duo’s ability to craft textured sonic landscapes that move beyond their shared shoegaze roots. Accompanied by striking artwork that mirrors the song’s moody aesthetic, the single offers the first taste of what Rebecca describes as a fertile creative period, with more music already on the way in the coming months. Its emotional depth and carefully built atmosphere establish a compelling collaborative identity for both artists.
Following the conclusion of their time with Belfast shoegaze outfit Virgins in early 2026, Dow and Sloan have redirected their energy into this new partnership. Rebecca is currently writing and recording across five different projects, reflecting remarkable creative momentum and versatility. For her, music is not about competition but about connection and collaboration with kindred spirits. That philosophy underpins her work with David Sloan, whose multi-instrumental talents complement her vision and help shape a sound defined by depth, texture, and authentic emotional resonance.
Together, the pair are emerging as distinctive new voices in Northern Ireland’s alternative music scene. “Beneath You” stands as both a striking introduction and a clear signal of the atmospheric, emotionally resonant music still to come.
