When I'm alone

Lazy Queen entered the Norwegian music scene like a breath of fresh air by way of New York, and today, the four-piece led by Henrik Gacía Søberg (they/them) have returned with a stunning cacophony of introspection on new single “Bed/Head”.  

Powered by their unique amalgamation of guitar structures from Brooklyn’s DIY scene and bouncy slacker pop melodies, the new track (produced by long-time Lazy Queen collaborator Morten Øby at Taakenheimen Lydriket in Oslo) sees the band take a tongue-in-cheek look at the causality between coping mechanisms and isolation, while knowing life continues all the same.
 
Speaking on the track, Henrik explains “Bed/Head is what your room smells when you haven’t gotten out of bed for a week straight. It’s feeling like your friends have forgotten you exist, and you’ve given them every reason to. It’s forgetting the sound of your own voice. It’s isolation and looking for a way out. It’s also a noisy pop song.”

The latest offering is an explicitly refreshed direction for Lazy Queen, who inked a new longform recording and publishing deal with Swedish label Icons Creating Evil Art in the summer of 2021. Said Henrik of the new union “we already feel right at home with our neighbouring brothers in ICEA. And we’re hoping to make this union of Norway and Sweden a little less “war-like” than the one from some 100 odd years ago, but only slightly”

“Bed/Head” follows the release of “Get Home or Die Trying”. Released through Eget Selskap and Pick & Mix labels, the darkly beautiful EP served as a crucial catharsis for the band processing personal trauma, allowing them to reassess, grow and move forward. Carefully considered singles “Bid Geal”, “Gutted”, “Throwaway” and “A Place (To Bury Strangers)” received widespread support and critical acclaim from renowned outlets such as Wonderland Magazine, Under The Radar, NYLON, Red Bull Music, Earmilk, Indietronica, Impose Magazine,  Medium and more. 

Along with extensive streaming and radio support they also played an incendiary set during the US festival #iVoted, where they as the only Norwegian booking shared the billing with artists such as Billie Eilish, Fantastic Negrito and Måneskin. 

With an increasingly vibrant Norwegian Indie Rock scene on the rise, Lazy Queen - as founded by Colombian-Norwegian Henrik García Søberg (they/them) - have made their mark with a sound inspired by the rich traditions of the Brooklyn DIY scene that birthed the band, ambitious and effervescent releases, coupled with their unique ability to convey personal and relatable experiences through García Søberg’s lyrics. 

The Oslo-based outfit effortlessly blends harmonic and discordant elements together with an instinctive ear for melody into a playful, innovative and vibrant sound, which affixes both context and contrast to lyrics that often explore life’s more maladjusted corners. It’s immediate. It’s urgent. It impatiently demands your attention.
Keep an eye out for even more new music from Lazy Queen soon. 

Lazy Queen was born in Brooklyn, raised in Oslo, and will never die. Join the wreckage.

Lazy Queen - Bed/Head

Lazy Queen return with their new single “Alcohol”, a jubilant slice of insistent and introspective guitar furore,  the latest track to be released from their hotly anticipated forthcoming EP “A Human Reaction”, set for release on 18th March 2022 via Swedish tastemaker label Icons Creating Evil Art.

Ahead of the release of “A Human Reaction”, Norwegian-New York bubble punk hybrids Lazy Queen are bringing their joyous, riotous sound to the UK in March. Be sure to catch the four-piece at one of the following venues: 
1st March - Birmingham, Sunflower Lounge
2nd March - London, Old Blue Last
3rd March - Brighton, Hope & Ruin 
5th March - Milton Keynes, The Craufurd Arms 
7th March - Bristol, The Lanes
9th March - Manchester, 33 Oldham Street 

“Alcohol” (produced by long-time Lazy Queen collaborator Morten Øby at Taakenheimen Lydriket in Oslo) is an ever-climbing energetic burst that delights in the chaos and unpredictability of oneself. There’s a certain sweetness that lies within the sing-a-long style lyrics, “maybe it’s the alcohol”. 

Henrik Gacía Søberg had the following to say about the latest single “Alcohol”:
"You know that feeling, when life feels impossibly confusing and difficult and everything is spiraling out of control, and then, in a sudden moment of infuriating clarity, you realize that the answer is simply a very sensible measure you’re absolutely not willing to take; ‘cause that sweet sweet wallowing in your own misery is just too good to let go… sucks, doesn't it?"”

“A Human Reaction” marks a new chapter for the band. Lazy Queen, the Norway-based four-piece led by Henrik García Søberg (they/them), have created a deeply personal and forward-thinking release that cohesively sees the band pay homage to both their roots in Brooklyn’s DIY scene and more contemporary pop sensibilities, coupled with their unique ability to convey personal and relatable experiences through García Søberg’s lyrics. In late 2021, the band shared the first taste of the new record in the single “BED/HEAD”, a stunning cacophony of introspection, the music video to which premiered on CLASH earlier this month and also received praise by the likes of KERRANG and Rock Sound.

The upcoming EP follows the release of 2021’s `''Get Home or Die Trying”. Released through Eget Selskap and Pick & Mix labels, the darkly beautiful EP served as a crucial catharsis for the band processing personal trauma, allowing them to reassess, grow and move forward. Carefully considered singles “Bid Geal”, “Gutted”, “Throwaway” and “A Place (To Bury Strangers)” received widespread support and critical acclaim from renowned outlets such as Wonderland Magazine, Under The Radar, NYLON, Red Bull Music, Earmilk, Indietronica, Impose Magazine,  Medium and more.

Alcohol

Lazy Queen - Alcohol

Lazy Queen have released their brand new EP ‘A Human Reaction’ via Swedish label, Icons Creating Evil Art. Featuring the highly-acclaimed singles ‘Bed/Head’, ‘Alcohol’ and new single ‘Detached, Together’, Lazy Queen’s latest instalment is both an insurmountable emotional maelstrom and the exhausted, tattered calm that follows. 

It seems there is no topic too sensitive for the Oslo-based four piece, they delight in weaving bouncy pop melodies around the darkest lyrical sentiments, caught up in a howl of guitars and newly explored electronic elements. With a run time of just over 18 minutes, ‘A Human Reaction’ is packed full of comforting and danceable future favourites from Lazy Queen. 

‘A Human Reaction’ was first pieced together within the confines of Henrik García Søberg’s home studio. Melodies were mapped out from the same desk as the band’s most nuanced yet still edgy lyrics were being scrawled. Like almost every artist in the world in 2020, Lazy Queen were negotiating lockdowns and semi-lockdowns, and it is this combination of pressure and frustration that has led to their most honest and developed work to date. 

Produced by Morten Øby at Taakenheimen Lydriket in Oslo, Lazy Queen band members would head into the studio in fragmented slots, unable to exact their vexation in ways they had on previous releases. In spite of this, ‘A Human Reaction’ is an expansive record that integrates itself in the psyche of its listeners, leaving a sense of heart-warming riff-heavy recognition.

Vocalist/guitarist  Henrik García Søberg (they/them) explains “As a whole, I would describe the mood of this record as one of isolation, but writing about feeling lonely, it’s not to make other people feel alone or isolated, it’s rather the opposite. There’s always the option of letting yourself sit and get lost in those emotions, but making the choice of saying something, whether that be to write a song about it, picking up a phone to call a friend - you’re making a choice to prove those overwhelming feelings wrong.” 

In summing up ‘A Human Reaction’, Henrik offers a contemplative remark. “At the moment, like a lot of things, it’s hard to get a hold of - it’s hard to see the shape of this and what impact it’ll make.” They continue on, “We were really able to say what we wanted to say, even though I have no idea what that is. And it needed to come out like it has, in this moody, time capsule  but I’m still learning about how I was feeling”.

Dedicación Parcial

Marc Pastco - Aleatorio [Crossfade Sounds]

Colorado has been a hotbed of talent in the electronic music scene over the years, bringing the community artists who have explored a range of genres from dubstep to house and everything in between. One producer from Denver who has truly embraced the dynamic nature of the dance music scene is none other than UnderLux. This rising artist has released everything from indie dance and breaks to dubstep and progressive house since the project began, and he's clearly not stopping anytime soon.

This year has seen UnderLux continue his rise through the ranks of the scene. He dropped off self-released tracks like "Where Are You At" and "Tequila Tasting" and a remix of Maddy O'Neal and Rodrick Malone's "Follow Me" before teaming up with the two artists for "Here's to You" in the midst of the summer. A quick trip to the indie dance realm on "Cry Star" led UnderLux to explore the progressive house realm once again on his latest EP, Hacking The Circuits.

UnderLux wasn't just focused on studio work this year either, as he consistently took the stage throughout Denver and other reaches of North America to play some impressive sets. Now, as the year begins to wind down, we had the chance to catch up with him to discuss the past, present, and future of his career. Listen to his exclusive guest mix and click the link for the conversation.
