Typically it takes some time to get from level A to level B within the rock world. Swedish trio Bacon Wagon acquired their begin in 2003, launched some singles and splits and right here we’re 22 years later premiering a observe, “I-Beam,” from their debut full-length album, Trauma Cake. I don’t assume these dudes—Kristoffer Kinberg (bass/vocals), Peter Johansson (drums), Marcus Kinberg (guitar/vocals)—have been, like, engaged on perfecting these tracks for greater than 20 years, it’s simply that they have been taking part in in different bands, elevating households and doing different Swedish stuff. Talking of households, Kristoffer’s daughter will be heard on this anthemic noise rock rumbler, an ode to office tragedies. If ’90s AmRep-style sludge floats your boat, “I-Beam” hits all these gnarled notes.
Trauma Cake was recorded, combined and mastered by Oliver Dahl at Studio Quaalude, Sweden. It’s set for launch on vinyl and digitally by way of Reptilian Data on June 6. Place your preorder right here or right here.
Marcus had this to say concerning the observe:
“A tune about work-related accidents and recovering from them. It’s partly about an outdated work colleague that acquired his head hit by a metal beam and had a stroke from the hit and ended up being paralyzed. All three band members are craftsmen and have had our share of work-related mishaps that are baked within the lyrics. This tune has extra cheerleading vocals by Kristoffer’s daughter, Elsa. Benefit from the feeling of getting damage!”
