Chicago's Interlay Announce Third EP, Share Lead Single "Silo"
Chicago band Interlay announced their third EP, Snow Covers Your Insides, on September 10, 2026, releasing the lead single "Silo" the same day. The EP draws its concept from poet Sylvia Plath, and continues the band's noise-wrapped, melody-driven post-hardcore sound — a style often filed under shoegaze as well.
What was announced
The announcement covers the EP title, its Plath-derived concept, and the lead single. Full release date and tracklist details were not included in the announcement; fans are pointed to the band's official social accounts for further updates.
The lead single, "Silo"
"Silo" is built around a dramatic falsetto vocal performance, with an overall mood described as sweeping and dark. Music site Stereogum compared the track's texture to Sunny Day Real Estate's How It Feels to Be Something On, and suggested that listeners who gravitate toward the most theatrical, over-the-top side of Knifeplay would likely respond to it.
Where Interlay sits sonically
Based in Chicago, Interlay has built its catalog at the intersection of post-hardcore and shoegaze — dense, noisy guitar walls layered over clearly legible melodic lines. Snow Covers Your Insides is their third EP, and its Plath-inspired framing continues the moodier tone of their earlier work.
