What the newest single from Sweden’s OKÄNT (see our bigger feature on their debut HERE) does come to sound like, over the course of its significant running time, is a constantly rewarding, well-thought, emotional post hardcore epic that soars to a new level of refinement and widens the definition of styles that fall under the broad genre. “Begravningsvisa / Näktergal” comes from their new 12” split with UK’s CHALK HANDS and Boston based REVERIES (both bands were featured on IDIOTEQ here and here), and I am honored to give you its first listen below. Dive into right away, check out the amazing artwork from Christian Brix and share, cause it’s worth thousands of spins.
The 3-way split comes out on April 27th via Dingleberry Records (GER), Time as color (GER), Future Void (UK), Callous Records (UK) Missed Out Records (US), Dischi Decenti (IT), Smart & Confused (FR), and Callous Records (UK, tapes).
