Slomosa Set Aug. 28 Release for Self-Titled Debut

slomosa

So here’s a cute one. I’ve written about Slomosa a couple times. Last Fall, when the Norwegian band posted the “There is Nothing New Under the Sun” from their upcoming self-titled debut album, I thought the track was cool and put it up with the press release that came through. And again, much the same leading up to “In My Mind’s Desert,” the second cut from the record to be unveiled. Now, with the third — that’s opener “Horses,” streaming at the bottom of the post here — I’m seeing a quote from The Obelisk: “Norway’s new shooting stars of huge rock.”

Now, to be fair, I say a lot of shit. Maybe I said that, right? My first thought wasn’t, “No way I said that,” it was, “Did I say that? That doesn’t sound like me.”

Turns out it wasn’t me. It was the press release I posted. So I’m being quoted quoting the press release, which, of course, ran in blue as those things do around here to signify their being quoted directly as they came in (okay, sometimes I fix spellings and take out quotes, but otherwise it’s exact). So yeah, I never quite called Slomosa Norway’s new shooting stars of huge rock. They sound like a cool band from what I’ve heard so far. You can quote me on that if you want. As for the rest, I’d probably like to hear the album before I make any such grand proclamations.

Okay then. To the PR wire:

Norwegian Stoner/ Desert Rockers SLOMOSA Debut Album Announced for August 2020 Release on Apollon Records.

Bringing desert rock from what is probably the least desert country in the world, Norwegian rockers SLOMOSA are due to release their self-titled debut album on August 28th, which has been highly anticipated ever since debut single Horses, which premiered in October 2019.

Acclaimed Norwegian music journalist Totto Mjelde (NRK P13) claimed it to be “some of the best new music to surface in the last couple of years”, saying the song “took his breath away”. At the end of the year the same radio station picked Horses as one of their five best songs of 2019. Regional newspaper Bergens Tidende proclaimed the band had released “one of the year’s best rock songs” with Horses, raising the expectations for their next release. The following single, There Is Nothing New Under the Sun, also debuted on P13, and Spotify quickly added the song to their official “Stoner Rock” and “Norwegian Rock” playlists.

The songs have amassed 170 000 streams and counting – and with their music’s international reach the band has managed to gain a following in countries such as Sweden, Germany and USA, making the band “Norway’s new shooting stars of huge rock”, music blog The Obelisk aptly put it.

The latest single from the upcoming album, is the sun-dazed In My Mind’s Desert, showcasing the band’s ability to make rock songs that appeal not only to the traditional rock crowd.
