Rust-Colored Reverie: Cruel Sister Dives Deep on ‘IRON PILLS’

Cruel Sister is a Dublin-based indie-rock artist known for weaving together dreamy atmospheres, trip-hop beats, shoegaze textures, and electronic flourishes—all colored by a fondness for “big fields and forests.” Originating from the creative energy of Ireland’s alternative scene, Cruel Sister brings introspective lyricism and sonic depth to the fore, crafting music that feels both expansive and intimately grounded.

The single “IRON PILLS,” released on May 27, 2025, stands as a standout moment in Cruel Sister’s evolving discography. Musically, the track blends big-beat rock with shoegaze and electronica, creating a layered, introspective soundscape. Lyrically, “IRON PILLS” employs vivid, haunting imagery to convey exhaustion and internal collapse
