Dobbeltgjenger release new single ‘In Limbo’

Norwegian futuristic retro-rockers Dobbeltgjenger share the second single, In Limbo, from their forthcoming album Limbohead. Listen to In Limbo HERE

Dobbeltgjenger is an eclectic and, one could also say, mischievous rock band from Bergen, Norway, with a definite edge. The band’s lyrics tell tales of deep-rooted neuroticism accompanied by contagious grooves, a futuristic guitar sound and soulful rock vocals. Dobbeltgjenger consists of members from Major Parkinson, Ossicles, Depresno and 9 Grader Nord.

The band draws their diverse influences from both the past and the present: Queens of The Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal, Talking Heads, Led Zeppelin, Joy Division, Jeff Buckley and ZZ-Top to name a few.

Dobbeltgjenger is drawing their inspiration from everything from astronauts lost in space to old video games. Limbohead represents a shift away from a narrow psychedelic expression towards a more eclectic sound. The end result is described by the band as a “punk-inspired, and more hands-on, record” replete with explosive stoner riffs and electric slide-guitars.

Limbohead, the band’s second album will be released in March 2018 through Karisma Records. It is is a colorful depiction of an anxious reality, where doors are locked in order to shut out the dangerous conspiracies of the world. Paranoid themes are depicted through a varied and comprehensive rock sound and a vocal that alternates between vulnerable falsettos, punkish screams and rhythmic narratives. Limbohead, showcases a more focused band than on the debut, When I’ve Gone to Space, but the trademark musical diversity and catchy groove is still apparent.

Lyrically, Limbohead recounts tales of deep-rooted neuroticism, a sort of colourful tapestry of an anxious reality, where doors are locked, in order to shut out the dangerous conspiracies of the world. But Dobbeltgjengerare all about bringing back the groove and the fun to genres that sometimes take themselves a tad too seriously by using contagious grooves, a futuristic guitar sound, and soulful rock vocals that alternate between vulnerable falsettos, punkish screams and rhythmic narratives.

Dobbeltgjenger is here to bring back the groove and fun to the serious and eclectic rock style. Let’s just call it futuristic retro rock.
