Described as “a blackgaze masterpiece” by Metal Hammer UK and Blabbermouth predicting “an extremely bright future”, the band’s sophomore album DIORAMA has been lauded worldwide and today and tomorrow, the quintet will celebrate the release with two shows in their home country.
MØL have also unveiled a live performance of ‘Vestige’, created by Tobias Scavenius, watch it here: https://youtu.be/Acrx4OyYg2Y

The band comment: “We are relieved to finally send our second album out into the aether for each and everyone to experience, feel and hopefully make their own. We are thankful for the collaboration with Tue Madsen who really helped bring out the essential MØL-sound out into the production. A huge appreciation to our excellent vocal features by our manager Mirza Radonjica (SIAMESE) on ‘Photophobic’, and Katherine Shepard (Sylvaine) on the concluding title track ‘Diorama’. And also thanks to our friend and visual wizard Jon Gotlev / noheroes.dk for once again accompanying our sound with a strong visual identity. All your contributions have helped us to fully realize this work as it was intended. MØL are what we are today, because of the sum of our parts.
“We hope you allow music to take up a bit of time and space, reserved for itself in your lives. It might just end up bringing you a healthy form of emotional escapism, introspection and reflection during a time of great change. Hope to see you live and alive somewhere very soon.
“In the meantime – enjoy this live-session of our single ‘Vestige’ at The Royal Danish Academy of Music recorded and mastered by Frederik Fede Brandt Jakobsen. Love from Denmark!”

Inspired by bands such as My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Drop Nineteens, Lantlôs and Alcest, MØL released their self-titled debut EP back in 2014. A year later they perfected their sound with their second EP II, produced by Jacob Bredahl and released in 2015. Both EPs were well received and drove them on to do some emphatic live shows which were praised by press. In 2018, MØL made an international breakthrough signing with Holy Roar Records (UK) who released their debut album Jord to worldwide critical acclaim. The record was recorded at Grapehouse Studios and mixed and mastered by Chris Kreutzfeldt. The album was also released as an instrumental version and in 2019, the band re-released their two first EPs, remastered for CD and vinyl.
