Following the success of their 2022 self-titled debut (Sixteentimes Music) and a series of support slots for international heavyweights, Swiss powerhouse Naked Soldier returns with their ambitious new studio album, »Echoes«.

Set for release on April 17th, 2026, »Echoes« marks a significant evolution for the Zurich-based quartet. While the band’s reputation was built on a foundation of sophisticated alternative rock, this new record is structured as a sonic metamorphosis. The album opens with the loud, driving immediacy of 90s-esque post-grunge, hooking the listener with raw rock and roll energy before slowly descending into darker, more experimental territories.

“With this record, we wanted to drag our sound out into the desert,” the band states. “We designed the album to lure you in with the raw, straight-forward energy of 90s alternative, then slowly pull you deeper into the haze. By the time you reach the end, we’re leaning heavily into harmonic minor scales and massive sonic textures. It starts as a party, but ends as a trip.”

Recorded by Nahuel Alegre at Goat Shelter Studio, Adliswil, Switzerland.
