Norwegian instrumental post/alt rock trio Les Dunes releases their second album ‘From Etne To The Edge of Space‘, on Friday, September 5th on Kapitän Platte.
Earlier on in 2025 the Norwegians had released already three singles taken from this album.
‘Vangen‘ a ten-minute sonic journey that evolves from serene minimalism into a majestic, almost cinematic crescendo.
Named after a central area in their hometown, ‘Vangen‘ captures a sense of space, movement, and emotional gravity.
The track unfolds like a trip:
immersive, slow-burning, and ultimately expansive.
Think Pink Floyd’s atmospheric depth colliding with the raw intensity of Explosions in the Sky – yet with a Nordic edge that’s all their own.
Clocking in at ten minutes, ‘Vangen‘ challenges the format of a single.
It’s not just a track – it’s an experience.
One that draws you in quietly and refuses to let go.
‘Den Hopsack‘ a tighter, more focused track that still delivers the band’s signature sense of momentum and mood.
The song maybe nod’s back to the ‘the low frequency in stereo’ era, but clearly also stands alone by itself.
Clocking in shorter than single ‘Vangen‘, ‘Den Hopsack‘ wastes no time.
It’s a driving, hypnotic piece that blends cinematic tension with melodic clarity – post-rock with purpose.
If ‘Vangen‘ is a space-bound journey, ‘Den Hopsack‘ is the spark before liftoff.
Everything Is Noise notes about the single ‘Lost Signals From Utsira‘:
“Weightless guitars, crunchy bass, and punchy drums evoke shades of post-rock before the takeover of crescendo-core, while also hinting at the emotional heft of slowcore. As one might expect, the track ploughs through several peaks and subtle moments of respite, only ever exploding into a fuzzy riff moments before its resolution.”
