Luutsön are a new shoegaze/post-punk band out of Saint Paul, Minnesota who have recently released their debut offering “Nossemark.”
The track channels both of the elements in a fashion that feels like the best of both genres, as if you’re soaring to infinity and beyond, splitting the worlds of DIIV and Slowdive. It’s a song that feels dreamy, anthemic, and full of endless possibilities.
Or as the band’s Seth Bostrom describes it:
It is full of pure emotion with energy and pace. Digging into the closest relationships we have, and the ones we have lost, then jamming it through a car stereo super loud with our friends – or with tears welled up as we sit alone. That’s what this song brings out of us.
For me, personally, as I wrote it, all I had in mind were the two closest friends in my entire life. My wife and my dad (who passed a couple years ago). And with all that weight of emotion that was stored in me, I just wrote it out. “Nössemark” is a very small rural town in Sweden where much of my heritage comes from. This song really begins to scratch the surface for what is to come of this band. If I can speak for the band, I hope you enjoy it.
