Lillestr\u00f8m, Norway-based stoner rock band El Caco issue eighth full-length studio album Uncelebration<\/em> on April 21st, 2023 through Indie Recordings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel like seven years has passed since our last release because we wrote and created music the entire time, but we gave ourselves space on Uncelebration<\/em>,\u201d El Caco commented. \u201cWe would meet up at rehearsals and work out the basic structure of a song. When that was settled the three of us would go our separate ways and continue to work on parts individually in different studios.\u201d<\/p>\n

The recording process of Uncelebration<\/em> diverged from that of previous releases, with the finished album being recorded in four different studios. Drums were recorded at Snakehips by Ronny Janssen, bass, keyboards, and percussion at Stop Knocking Studio by Fredrik Wallumr\u00f8d, guitars by Anders Gjesti at Oganesh Studios Unlimited, and vocals at Studio 33 by Daniel Bergstrand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere hasn\u2019t been a lot to celebrate these last couple of years,\u201d El Caco said. \u201cNeither in the general world order, nor on a personal level. Uncelebration<\/em> was born out of this, something which is reflected both in lyrics and in the album theme. The title itself felt like a given description of the current situation. As for the sound, we always seek to evolve, but it is still unmistakably El Caco, After all, we are still the same three people, how we write and the how we play was settled long ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

Directed by J\u00f8rn Veberg, a music video was filmed for the track \u2018Inventor\u2019. \u201cWhen every possible way to fix a problem is tried and you have started inventing your own solutions, and it all turns out wrong, then in the end you are facing yourself,\u201d El Caco said. \u201cThe song and melody is kinda catchy and the vocals rather dark, but it gives the lyrics a nice wrapping.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, an official lyric video was created for the song \u2018All In Favour\u2019. \u201cSometimes when you\u2019re making music the song releases an energy that makes you bounce and groove immediately,\u201d El Caco said. \u201c\u2018All In Favour\u2019 took us into a state of mind were we just wanted to blast out riffs and share all the energy, so we cannot wait to play this live.\u201d<\/p>\n

And as well, an official visualiser video was created for the track \u2018The Taste Of Wine\u2019. <\/p>\n

All three clips can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Seventh studio record 7<\/em> was released in January 2016 via Indie Recordings.<\/p>\n
