Lazy Queen

NO

Lazy Queen kom som et friskt pust inn i den norske musikkscenen via New York, der norsk-colombianske Henrik Gracía Søberg først startet bandet.

Det Oslo-baserte bandet blander uanstrengt harmoniske og dissonante elementer, sammen med et instinktivt meloditeft, til et lekent og fargerikt lydbilde, som står i en utfyllende kontrast til en tekstlig tematikk som utforsker livets mørkere sider. Som Engelske Clash Magazine skriver, “their penchant for bouncy, punk-infused electro-pop allows them to deliver poignancy with a sprinkle of sugar”.

Det er umiddelbart. Det er nødvendig. Det krever din oppmerksomhet.

I 2022 signerte bandet med det svenske plateselskapet Icons Creating Evil Art, og slapp EPen ‘A Human Reaction’. 5-spors utgivelsen resonnerte med både fans og presse, og høstet lovord fra blant annet Rolling Stone Magazine, Kerrang! Magazine, Rocksound og BBC Radio 1 i utlandet, med radiolisting på og hele tre “Best Akkurat Nå”-utmerkelser fra P3. BBC Radio-DJen Jack Saunders har stilt seg 100% bak bandet og kalt dem et “rare find” og sagt “there really is some top tier guitar music getting made at the moment and Lazy Queen are right on there”, mens Clash Magazine beskrev som ”a dizzying burst of catharsis” og et “experimental, vibrant and honest (...) piece of art.”

Lazy Queen entered the Norwegian music scene as a blast of fresh air, making the move from New York, where Colombian-Norwegian Henrik García Søberg founded the band.

The Oslo-based outfit effortlessly blends harmonic and discordant elements together with an instinctive ear for melody into a playful, innovative and vibrant sound, which affixes both context and contrast to lyrics that often explore life’s more maladjusted corners. Like Clash Magazine puts it, “their penchant for bouncy, punk-infused electro-pop allows them to deliver poignancy with a sprinkle of sugar”.

It’s immediate. It’s urgent. It impatiently demands your attention.

In 2022 the band released A Human Reaction on Swedish indie label Icons Creating Evil Art. The 5 track EP resonated with fans and critics alike, receiving praise from Rolling Stone Magazine, Kerrang! Magazine, Rocksound, BBC Radio 1 to name a few. With Jack Saunders of BBC Radio 1 naming Lazy Queen “a rare find”, stating; “there really is some top tier guitar music getting made at the moment and Lazy Queen are right on there”, while Clash Magazine described ‘A Human Reaction as a ”dizzying burst of catharsis” and an “experimental, vibrant and honest (...) piece of art.”
