Normandie release new song ‘Hourglass’

NORMANDIE have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Hourglass, is taken from the Swedish post-hardcore band’s upcoming new album, Dopamine (the follow-up to 2021’s Dark & Beautiful Secrets), which is scheduled to be released in February next year, via Easy Life Records.

The new song is the third single to be released from the upcoming album following on from Flowers In The Grave and Blood In The Water and features a guest appearance from BURY TOMORROW‘s Dani Winter-Bates.

Speaking about the new song, frontman Philip Strand says it is about, “death, and how if we come to terms with it and accept it, we can find new life in the pain. Everything that ever was has always ended, all flowers fade.”

Continuing to speak about the upcoming album, Strand says, “the whole album is about the chase for different highs and natural chemicals: oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, adrenaline… What if dopamine had to be clinically provided because we’ve burned through our receptors? Making this album futuristic and dystopian came very naturally when we started discussing the current state of the world. We’re all on overdrive. We’re upping the stakes all the time, and everybody has a higher tolerance now for stress in a way that nobody saw coming.”
