The new album "Drü" by the noise-post-punk trio SOOMA will be released on May 3, 2024, via Gluttony Records. The dark and poetic new video "Sale" combines frantic rhythms and wordy lyrics in this coherent and unique creative space.
SOOMA's new album "Drü" brings fresh air to the noise and post-punk movement with proggy elements, grunge fragments, and overflowing avant-garde fantasy. "Drü" means "three" in Swiss German, like three musicians, like the third album. A pluralistic meaning that also refers to the linguistic and cultural uniqueness of the band, rich and complex. 

The band on the new video "Sale":
"For this clip, we were inspired by X-rays. We wanted to bring these sterile clichés to life that allow us to see within ourselves. A world that is only accessible thanks to the technical and scientific achievements of humanity. We also incorporated the infinitely large space to establish the connection between two invisible worlds that ultimately bring everything together. Like several pieces on SOOMA's latest album, Sale is a tribute to the experience of love. A oneiric poem, a journey into the heart of the night. Also an awakening, one of those slightly brutal ones that pulls us out of the illusion."

At the end of 2022, after a series of dates across Europe supporting Zeal & Ardor, SOOMA is preparing to release their third studio album 'Drü', which is sung entirely in French. The record will be available in the following formats: LP, streaming, download. It was recorded and mixed by Yannick Consaël. Mastering by Adrien Pallot at Chab Mastering Studio. Artwork by Yannick Consaël and Liv Packness.

The noise/post-punk band SOOMA was founded in 2014 in Zurich by Yannick Consaël (guitar/vocals) and Fidel Aeberli (drums). In 2014, they recorded a demo with Marc Bouffé (from the Swiss noise trio Hathors) at Working Class Recordings in Winterthur, shortly before bassist Stefan Jocic joined the band. In 2017, SOOMA went back into the studio with Rémi Gettliffe (Last Train, Shineski, The Videos) at White Bat Recorders in France to record their self-titled debut album. After some lineup changes, bassist Victor Rassov joined the band in 2018. The trio was nominated among 800 bands for the Swiss Live Talents 2019, where they performed in November 2019.
SOOMA's second album "It's All About To Change" was recorded at White Bat Recorders and released in February 2020 via Radicalis. Recorded live with the band and mixed analog, the album is a collection of harder rock styles. The Swiss skillfully combine crisp indie with hardcore, noise, and punk, while always remaining authentic and never drifting into platitudes or clichés. Paired with the intuitively emotional lyrics of Yannick Consaël, this creates an exciting, versatile album.
The project has been played live from the very beginning. SOOMA had the opportunity to share the stage with bands like the noise references Hathors, Lysistrata, It It Anita, Birds in Row.
