After returning triumphant from their European tour supporting Big Big Train last autumn, Dim Gray went straight to work with their third album. Now that labour is starting to come to fruition, with their first single “Murals” a song that packs plenty of punch, with Håkon’s recognizable guitars and elements of Norwegian folk music. The song is mixed by The Pineapple Thief’s own Bruce Soord.

Murals was written by guitarist and vocalist Håkon Høiberg, saying “I wanted to d elve deeper into the Norwegian folk music heritage, and was inspired by the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle and its unique melodic sound. Combining it with a prim al , up beat soundscape to craft the parts of the song, it resulted in a sound that you rarely hear played by an electric guitar.” The lyrics centre around the idea that wherever you may find yourself in life, there is always someone that has been in your shoes. It’s an important perspective to have, especially if you are running the risk of getting lost in your own head.

Now, with the inclusion of Milad Amouzegar and Kristian Kvaksrud, “Murals” marks Dim Gray’s first release as a quintet, kicking off what should promise to be an exciting year with several singles and finally, their third album.

Following in the wake of Flown, their critically acclaimed 2020 debut album and their second album Firmament, Norwegian art rockers Dim Gray return with their first live EP.
