Oh Hiroshima announce new album ‘And the Dead Tree Gives No Shelter’

OH HIROSHIMA have announced a brand new album!

The Swedish post‑rock duo have announced their latest full‑length, And the Dead Tree Gives No Shelter. Set for release on June 5th, 2026 via Pelagic Records, the album is the follow-up to 2024’s All Things Shining.

Instrumentally, the album marks the duo’s most ambitious production yet, featuring ten additional musicians and a broadened sonic palette. Foundational tracking took place at Studio Gröndahl with Karl Daniel Lidén, with further recording handled by the band in Örebro and mixing/mastering by Magnus Lindberg.

Discussing the album’s overarching concept, the band shares, “the album title And the Dead Tree Gives No Shelter is taken from T. S. Eliot’s epic poem The Waste Land. For this album, the dead tree works as a metaphor for ways of living that drain the world of meaning and offer no real way of navigating the hardships of life. We are living in a time when it has become harder and harder to imagine a bright future. This leaves many of us with a deep sense of hopelessness that easily breeds cynicism and apathy. In that state it becomes easy to shut the world out and give up any attempts at meaningful interaction with the world around us. A destructive cycle follows, as this leaves us with no way of sheltering ourselves from our initial despair at the state of things. But these songs also aim to paint something meaningful and hopeful. A form of idealisation not rooted in naivety but in realism, because we need ideals to gather enough strength to leave the shelterless dead trees of our lives behind.”

Alongside the announcement, OH HIROSHIMA have released the album’s first single, Broken Sunlight. Speaking about the new single, the band comments, “with Broken Sunlight we wanted something that hits you directly, with rhythm and melody tightly interwoven. It’s about holding onto something fragile, a shard of hope in a reality that feels increasingly fractured.”
