The Lucerne based alternative stoner rock trio Carson is back! With their new album »When Gods Know Why« (releases September 19, 2025), the band not only showcases the perfected, powerful, and distinctive sound of their previous works but also demonstrates their bold exploration of new musical horizons. This album takes listeners on an exhilarating journey through dense riffs, emotional soundscapes, and unexpected twists – a work that transcends genre boundaries while staying true to Carson’s unmistakable identity.
From the driving lead single »Engine Down« to the epic ballad »Only For The Scorned«, the record delivers captivating dynamics. Tracks like »Sombre Faces« and »Drip« highlight Carson’s talent for contrasting compositions: raw grunge-inspired elements seamlessly intertwine with spacey, atmospheric passages, creating musical realms that resonate deeply with both heart and mind. »The Itch« and »Marion Morrison« bring forth riff-heavy power, while »Snow White« shines in classic Carson style with atmospheric stoner vibes and an unexpected twist. The title track »When Gods Know Why« rounds things off as a catchy and powerful rock anthem.
Their songs combine thunderous rhythms, sharp melodies, and an unmistakable joy of playing. The production perfectly captures the band’s raw energy, ensuring every detail sparkles.
