With a unique sound dubbed “Doom Pop” by Metal Injection, <a href="spotify:artist:0l5d2oD9unQCRRogw47e2Q" data-name="SOM">SOM</a>’s dreamy shoegaze roots are on display across Let The Light In but there is heft at its core that is bracing and ferocious. If the band’s debut album The Fall explored hitting rock bottom and sophomore release <a href="spotify:album:5t7diqfBBT6QnXADEKbyaZ" data-name="The Shape of Everything">The Shape of Everything</a> grappled with the ever-darkening world around us, Let The Light In sees <a href="spotify:artist:0l5d2oD9unQCRRogw47e2Q" data-name="SOM">SOM</a> turn their sights inward, towards our most primal impulses; seeking solace and reconciliation from the vibrancy within ourselves and the people we hold close.

Since 2019, SOM have toured extensively across North America, Europe and the UK alongside acts including <a href="spotify:artist:2CWWgbxApjbyByxBBCvGTm" data-name="Katatonia">Katatonia</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:721C5U5rM8J0jjq6IQuSBK" data-name="Sólstafir">Sólstafir</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3nOrhUtscermNwmfBQRZZv" data-name="Slow Crush">Slow Crush</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:13rS3lCWshTVt6HsCNjvBI" data-name="Holy Fawn">Holy Fawn</a> and many more. This relentless live commitment across 21 countries, coupled with 2023’s introspective restructuring, has profoundly altered their creative approach.

As they began working on this new material, the members of <a href="spotify:artist:0l5d2oD9unQCRRogw47e2Q" data-name="SOM">SOM</a> found themselves in a fresh headspace, armed with a newfound, hard-earned maturity. Let The Light In is <a href="spotify:artist:0l5d2oD9unQCRRogw47e2Q" data-name="SOM">SOM</a>&#39;s testament to resilience and evolution. Born from challenge and change, the album pulses with confidence and catharsis, imploring the listener and the band themselves to traverse the darkness and find the light.
