Lød

Formed in Copenhagen in 2016, Danish quintet Lød blend uncompromising post-punk intensity with chilly Motorik Krautrock. After signing with U.K. indie Tough Love, vocalist Søren Gade, guitarist Erik Thøgersen, keyboardist Anders Andersen, bassist Sebastian Kjær, and drummer Mads Uldum recorded their debut EP with engineer Julius Pederson. Released in June 2017, Folder presented four lengthy tracks, sung entirely in Danish, which built tension through their slowly shifting rhythmic patterns and fiery undercurrents. ~ Timothy Monger
