Dirty Sound Magnet released a music video for their brand new single »Heavy Hours«
Swiss psychedelic rock trio Dirty Sound Magnet released a music video for their brand new single »Heavy Hours« taken from the upcoming album, set to release March 18, 2022.
The band comments: “On our previous album »Transgenic«, we dug very deep conceptually. There is a lot of symbolism in there and the soundscapes are very elaborate. I see that album as an abstract painting that has a lot to say about the world.
The most natural thing for us was to do the opposite on the next album. The whole album is based on energy and electricity. The new single »Heavy Hours« is us having fun doing the blues rock’n’roll thing. Like on the rest of the album, we came back to the essence of our passion. We wanted to keep the urgency of our live shows and certain sense of danger.”
Dirty Sound Magnet is a psychedelic rock power trio from Fribourg, Switzerland. The band’s DNA can be traced back to the ancestral “Golden Age of Rock” (60s, 70s), but it would be incorrect to think that Dirty Sound Magnet is…“retro”. The musicians are inspired by contemporary artists and modern production techniques; pushing the boundaries as they see fit. The results are personal, unique and original. Simply put: the Dirty Sound Magnet experience is a mystical journey back to the future…
In 2017, Dirty Sound Magnet released its first album »Western Lies« with Berlin-based label Noisolution. The results were instantaneous; with the band winning an award in the category of “best Swiss rock song” for their single »Homo Economicus«. Between 2017 and 2020 the band toured relentlessly, playing over 200 shows in various countries, including Switzerland, the UK, Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, Spain, Ireland, Austria, Italy, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.
2019 saw the release of their epic full album »Transgenic«. The album established the band as a leading force of the European psychedelic rock scene. In the midst of their giant tour promoting the album, Covid-19 arrived and Dirty Sound Magnet had to cancel the remaining shows of the tour. This hiatus from touring allowed the band to go back to basics and rehearse intensively. The experience gained from touring motivated them to produce a live session album named »Live Alert« that was released in November 2020. The album showcases the band’s ability to improvise and the virtuosity of the trio.
During this highly productive period, Dirty Sound Magnet also recorded an ambitious studio album that will be released in 2022.
