Hammok – “Tap Water”

Fabian Framdal Fjeldvik

Norwegian noise rockers Hammok recently announced their new album When Does This Place Become Our Scene, due out this June. Its lead single "The Scene" is a promising one, as is today's follow-up "Tap Water," a song vocalist/guitarist Tobias Osland explains is about "self sabotage and reaching out for an exchange of energy." "Tap Water" is piercing, hooky, and somewhat groovy, acting as a call to arms for resisting nonchalance: "Wake up/ There's something exponential about to/ To take off," Osland commands, his voice switching between a melodic belt and a guttural scream. "How can I set myself on fire/ When nothing is painful anymore?" Check out Christoffer Bya's video for it below.

When Does This Place Become Our Scene is out 6/5 on Sargent House. Pre-order it here.
