“featuring members of shoegaze and post-rock heavy hitters Caspian, Junius, and Constants, SOM plays the kind of somber, glimmering music that exudes a heavy fog of emotion and introspection around it.”

— Kerrang!

“For modern lovers looking for something dark, sensual, and just edgy enough, SOM have released a dreamy shoegaze post-rock paean to sinful lust and the false piety of a secret romance.”

— Revolver

 

SOM's third full-length, Let The Light In, is out now via 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.

Since 2019, SOM have toured extensively across North America, Europe, and the UK alongside likeminded acts including Katatonia, Sólstafir, Slow Crush, Blackwater Holylight, Rosetta, Holy Fawn and more. Their relentless touring schedule across 22 countries, along with an evolving catalog and their most recent genre-bending cover of Taylor Swift’s dark pop anthem “Anti-Hero” with a video by Joel Villegas (Gojira, Poison The Well), has solidified their place as innovators in the landscape of modern heavy music.
