Airiel

From Chicago, Ill, operated by Jeremy Wrenn and Andrew Marrah, Airiel are a permanent staple in the shoegaze arena with a massive, dedicated following.

After releasing several EP’s from 2003-2004, Airiel caught the attention of thousands of listeners with the release of their wildly successful Winks and Kisses, which was released as a box set of three EP's Winks and Kisses: Dizzy, Melted and Crackled.

"In Your Room," from Winks and Kisses: Melted (2004) grasped the hearts of listeners upon its release, and has since been Airiel's largest streaming track to date.

The band put out their first full-length record, The Battle of Sealand in 2007, followed by the largely popular EP, Kid Games in 2012.
Five years later, Airiel released their groundbreaking sophomore album Molten Young Lovers, which has easily become a go-to for all shoegaze fans.

Since their formation, Airiel has garnered the attention of a largely dedicated fan base. Their Winks and Kisses EP went through several sold out pressings, and still remains one of the most largely sought out EP’s in the shoegaze world.

The band's anticipated forthcoming EP that has been in production since the early stages of the pandemic will at long last, be released early 2023.
