Som Let The Light In

After eight years, 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. 1.
