GAUPA have announced a new EP!
Titled Fyr, the upcoming EP from the Swedish progressive stoner rock band is the follow-up to 2022’s Myriad, and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.
The four-track mini album marks the band’s fourth release, as well as the start of their next chapter as a four-piece band. However, despite their newly slimmed-down line-up, Fyr is anything but slight; with the help of new mixing engineer Karl Daniel Lidén, it serves as their heaviest material to date. Recorded in the autumn of 2024 in Svenska Grammofonstudion, Göteborg and Estethuset Studios, Falun, Fyr intends to be a genre-bending journey through enthralling psychedelia, groove-laden stoner rock and heavy prog metal.
Showcasing more of frontwoman Emma Näslund’s playfully perplexing and surreal lyricism, the upcoming EP loosely explores the concept of time, “what is real, what is not, and what is a dream”, additionally inspired by science fiction novels, nature and animals.
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, GAUPA have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming EP; Ten Of Twelve. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming new EP, following on from Heavy Lord, which was released back in December.
