SOM continues to tour in support of their latest full-length, The Shape Of Everything, released via Pelagic Records. Following the acclaim accrued by their 2018 debut The Fall, SOM â comprised of current and former members of Constants, Junius, and recent Grammy nominees Caspian â had planned to enter the studio in 2020 to record the follow-up. However, pandemic-induced lockdown forced them to improvise and record entirely remotely, producing 2021âs luscious Awake EP. This new workflow redefined SOMâs process, which carried into the completion of The Shape Of Everything. Its concise compositions balance gritty riffs with airy vocal lines that will appeal to fans of Deftones and Tame Impala alike and are just as primed for rock radio as for shoegaze-loving connoisseurs. The intentional, self-imposed paradigm of minimalism, the aim to reduce each musical idea to its emotive essence is what makes the band sound huge â and of course the flawless, modern yet incredibly warm and rich production by Benoit himself at his own Radar Studio in Connecticut, gives SOMâs The Shape Of Everything its compelling power.

The Shape Of Everything is available on CD, LP, and digital formats. Find ordering options at THIS LOCATION.
SOM was co-founded by Benoit with drummer and former Constants colleague Duncan Rich, as well as Adai founder and now-Caspian drummer Justin Forrest. While touring on The Fall, the band recruited old friends guitarists Mike Repasch-Nieves and Joel M. Reynolds, both formerly of Junius and Driftoff. While many artists lumbered in inactivity, SOM used the darkness of recent times to create and heal. The Shape of Everythingâs introspective bliss is an insight into the kind of harmony the quintet seek to cultivate in all facets of life.
