Weltschmerz, Baby!

Weltschmerz, Baby! is the latest album by Seid from Trondheim and it is their first sung entirely in Norwegian. A detail that adds an almost mantra-like dimension to their already dreamy, psychedelic sound.

Seven songs that don't complain but simply leave the world behind. The driving opener Haukøye immediately sets the tone before Trollmannens Hytte provides some breathing room with its relaxed flow and Satan i Blodet picks the energy back up. The centerpiece and title track Weltschmerz, Baby! unfolds as a real banger. A seething rhythm fueled by the energy of the preceding tracks. The dreamy Coyoteman which seamlessly transitions into the droning Moloch vs. Gud and the closer Mir (Drogarna Börjar Värka) wraps up the album with a 70s space bounce and a long fadeout that acts as a takeoff.

Fuzzy guitars, powerful bass, vintage keyboards and haunting vocals are the Seid recipe that has worked for 25 years and sounds as fresh as ever here.

Also available as an LP on 180 gram petrol-colored vinyl made in Germany and limited to 500 copies!
