Showing another side of Agius' repertoire in meticulously written pop songs dressed with shoegaze guitars and 80s drums, RINSE has been likened to the golden era of The Cure, My Bloody Valentine and Cocteau Twins. Agius has released two EPs as RINSE, Sinker° (2023) and Wherever I Am (2021), generated over 1 million streams cross-platform, performed with George Clanton (US), RVG, and ENOLA, and across his music output has received widespread support and airplay from the likes of Stereogum, KEXP, triple j, NPR, The FADER, NME, Paper Magazine, Purple Sneakers, triple j Unearthed, FBi Radio, Triple R, PBS FM, 2SER and many others.
