After eight years of creativity, SOM stand at a pivotal moment. Three years after their critically acclaimed sophomore album The Shape of Everything (Pelagic Records) and a year following the release of Faith, an ambitious EP of Depeche Mode covers (Sonic Ritual Recordings), their forthcoming third full-length "Let The Light In" captures the band at its most introspective and adventurous.

A study in contrasts, Let The Light In is simultaneously SOM's catchiest and heaviest record, pushing boundaries with dissonance and noise while uncovering surprising moments of tranquillity - the calm within the storm.

With a unique sound dubbed "Doom Pop" by Metal Injection, SOM's dreamy shoegaze roots are on display but there is heaviness and heft at its core that is bracing and ferocious.

If the band's debut album The Fall explored hitting rock bottom and The Shape of Everything grappled with the ever-darkening world around us, Let The Light In sees SOM turn their sights inward, towards our most primal impulses: seeking solace and reconciliation from the vibrance within ourselves and the people we hold close.

Since 2019, SOM have toured extensively across North America, Europe and the UK alongside acts including Katatonia, Solstafir, Slow Crush, Holy Fawn, O'Brother, Defeater, Gost, and Rosetta.

These hard-earned experiences across 21 countries, coupled with 2023's introspective restructuring, have profoundly altered their creative approach.

Impassioned late night conversations in the bus, heartfelt disagreements and the endless euphoria of playing to audiences around the globe have only added to a wealth of lived experience and musical growth, resulting in a more nuanced, explorative and emotionally charged songwriting process.

As they approached this new material, the members of SOM found themselves in a fresh headspace, armed with a newfound maturity.

Let The Light In is SOM's testament to resilience and evolution. Born from challenge and change, the album pulses with confidence and catharsis, imploring the listener and the band themselves to traverse the darkness and find the light.
