Ethereal doom pop unit SOM today unveils their video for “Moment.” The alluring track comes by way of the band’s anxiously awaited new full-length, The Shape Of Everything, set for release via Pelagic Records January 21st, 2022.

Following the acclaim accrued by their 2018 debut The Fall, SOM -- comprised of current and former members of Constants, Junius, and recent Grammy nominees Caspian -- had planned to enter the studio in 2020 to record the follow-up. However, pandemic-induced lockdown forced them to improvise and record entirely remotely, producing 2021’s luscious Awake EP. This new workflow redefined SOM’s process, which carried into the completion of their forthcoming LP. Its concise compositions balance gritty riffs with airy vocal lines that will appeal to fans of Deftones and Tame Impala alike and are just as primed for rock radio as for shoegaze-loving connoisseurs. The intentional, self-imposed paradigm of minimalism, the aim to reduce each musical idea to its emotive essence is what makes the band sound huge — and of course the flawless, modern yet incredibly warm and rich production by vocalist and guitarist Will Benoit himself, gives SOM’s The Shape Of Everything its compelling power.

The Shape Of Everything will be available on CD, LP, and digital formats. Find preorders at THIS LOCATION:  https://listen.pelagic-records.com/som-tsoe
