Den Der Hale - Larking About (2026) [Hi-Res]

Our third album, Larking About, is an exploration of more eclectic soundscapes than has been presented before. As we have went through line-up changes, we have eschewed the traditional sound of drums, guitars, and bass. Instead, we have built these songs from tape loops, resampling, and acoustic instruments, resulting in a greater focus on recording technique and panning. The majority of the songs on the album have been processed during the past year and a half, serving as an experimental and ambient counterpart to the songs we usually perform live. The result, we feel, is an album that thrives on anticipation and tension.

The entirety of the album was recorded and mixed in our studio in Malmö. In contrast to our previous releases, this album was stem-mastered and transferred to 24-track tape reel by the very adept mastering engineer Joakim Lindberg of Studio Sickan. This process was extremely helpful in providing us an extra set of ears and attention to the soundscape of the individual tracks as well as the overall sound of the album.

The album will be pressed to vinyl and released on Sound Effect Records.

This spring, we will be touring Europe with some of the songs from this album while also finishing the writing process for another album we aim to finish later this year.
