SOM

FRIDAY

BIXLER STAGE

16:55 - 17:45

SOM's third full-length, Let The Light In, is out now via Berlin label Pelagic Records. With a unique sound dubbed “Doom Pop” by Metal Injection, SOM’s dreamy shoegaze roots are on display across Let The Light In, but the heft at its core is bracing and ferocious. If the band’s debut album The Fall explored hitting rock bottom, and sophomore release 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 within ourselves and the people we hold close.

As they began working on their new material, the members of SOM found themselves in a fresh headspace, armed with a newfound, hard-earned 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.
