Our long-awaited third album ‘Insight’ feels like the defining moment of the band’s history and the conclusion of a trilogy: It’s everything our debut ‘Observed in a Dream’ (2016) and the sequel ‘Prepared for a Nightmare’ (2020) hinted at — and more. Mixed and mastered by Maurizio Baggio (known for his work with The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher, and The Vacant Lots), our sound has been refined into a sharper and more expansive sonic landscape than ever before. This album sees us exploring greater depths and heights, embarking on a hypnotic journey through the shadows, filled with pulsating post-punk, shimmering shoegaze and atmospheric psych-noir.
The recording process was a bit different than on our previous releases. Frontman Trond Fagernes penned and recorded the guitar, bass, and vocals with a drum machine first, then acoustic drums and synths were added later as well as guitar contributions on some songs by returning founding member Rune Øverby. This process enabled more experimentation and creative freedom with each instrument before adding them layer by layer.
‘Insight’ is the album we’ve always wanted to create, but at the same time it’s the most personal and emotionally hardest we’ve made so far. Lyrically, it delves into a wide range of emotions, from somber reflections about loss and sorrow to feverish depictions of love, escapism and catharsis.
Released July 2026 on Icy Cold Records.
