Normandie announce new album ‘Dark & Beautiful Secrets’

NORMANDIE have announced a new album!

Titled Dark & Beautiful Secrets, the upcoming album from the Swedish band is their brand new full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via Easy Life Records.

“This is a really dark album to me,” says frontman Philip Strand. “There’s something about writing a new album that gives a freedom to be true to yourself in both sound and lyrics. We decided to be as intimate and personal as possible, sharing true stories from our past for the first time. We called it Dark & Beautiful Secrets. Everyone has secrets, each and every one of us has something buried deep down inside that we desperately keep hidden away from the judging eyes of the world. A secret that comes to light can be a beautiful relief. Proof that you have gone through the healing process and you’re ready to move on.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Holy Water. Speaking about the new song, Strand continues, “herd mentality is everywhere today; in social media, religion and in politics. When the bubble burst and we’re left with just ourselves and our own thoughts – who are we? Holy Water is about asking yourself; is my reality formed by my own or somebody else’s belief?”
