OMSORG has just been conformed for this year's Roskilde Festival in DK and furthermore, they will be touring in Norway and the UK this spring.
On the new EP 'Echoes,' the Danish hardcore trio OMSORG (Danish for 'care') balances savagery and vulnerability through four songs that deliver highly personal songwriting driven by social indignation, a will to live, and an insistence on love and friendship despite existential suffering, self-destructiveness, and structural pressure.
In 2022, Omsorg recorded their debut album with producer Jacob Bredahl (Lifesick, Eyes), and when 'Moments, Movements' was released in 2023, it resonated in the scene with its contemporary and lyrically gripping emotional hardcore. Following the release, a series of well-attended DK shows followed, where the band truly connected with the Danish audience, including supporting Zeal & Ardor, performances at When CopenHell Freezes Over and SPOT METAL, as well as an EU/UK tour with Hoi-Poi solidifying the band as an important new name on the European punk/HC scene.
New songs were written along the way, and in January 2024, Omsorg returned to the studio with Jacob Bredahl, this time to record the four tracks that make up the new EP 'Echoes'. Like the debut album, the new songs were recorded live, giving the EP a unique vitality and dynamism. The new songs are unmistakably Omsorg with their warm, punchy sound and vibrant interplay, but the EP also shows the band's intention to step out of its comfort zone and expand with experiments in sound and production, especially in vocals and melody.
The EP's title 'Echoes' and the themes of the songs build on the debut album 'Moments, Movements' and its underlying idea that life consists of moments and movements. With 'Echoes,' it is added that life also consists of repetitions - and not always for the better if these are repetitions of destructive patterns, despite all good intentions.
