For fans of Deftones, Narrow Head, and the new wave of digital-age shoegaze, Southern Virginia native Trxy!’s debut album Drowning In Bliss arrives as a heavy, intimate statement of emotional survival. Out February 27 via UnitedMasters, the record fuses hazy dreamgaze textures with a sharp nu-metal edge, channeling ‘90s and 2000s influences through a deeply personal, modern lens. Produced and mixed by Grammy winner Lawrence Rothman alongside Joe Kennedy, the album’s 14 tracks plunge into themes of depression, numbness, and emotional isolation, wrapped in dense, immersive soundscapes. Created largely on Trxy!'s phone using BandLab, Drowning In Bliss balances polished production with a raw DIY ethos that amplifies its honesty. Following the viral success of “Realize” (66M streams, Top 25 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart) and a rapidly growing fanbase of over 760,000 monthly Spotify listeners, Drowning In Bliss positions Trxy! as a rising force shaping shoegaze’s evolution in the digital age. Trxy! wasn’t alive to witness shoegaze’s rise, but 19-year-old Southern Virginia-based Trey Odell is fearlessly carrying its hypnotic spirit into the present, filtering the ’90s and 2000s through the lens of a generation defined by fractured attention and a never-ending search for meaning. Odell got his start on TikTok, crafting shoegaze-inspired songs to soundtrack his retro gaming content. Inspired by genre icons like My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins and Deftones, his music quickly became a way to both channel his creativity and explore his own identity after the passing of his mother. In that grief, Trxy! uncovered both his voice and the emotional core of his art.
