Norwegian alt.rock force PEEL dropped their haunting new single, “Tears from the Sun”, on May 16th. This track is a dense, swirling vortex of melancholy and might that grabs you, proving PEEL is firing on all cylinders.
Building on the raw voltage of bangers like “Love Phobia” and “Neverending”, PEEL doesn’t only evolve—they transcend. “Tears from the Sun” masterfully welds their signature lush gloom to pure, tectonic emotional force. It’s the sound of quiet collapse meeting cathedral-sized grandeur—guitars that swirl like storm fronts, textures thick enough to drown in, melodies that pierce the stratosphere. This isn’t music. It’s alt-rock cinema shot on IMAX.
And at the eye of the storm is Pim. The band’s architect. Visionary. Beating heart. As vocalist, songwriter, and lyricist, she doesn’t just front PEEL—she IS PEEL. Her voice is a devastating paradox: fragile as cracked porcelain one second, commanding like a Valkyrie’s cry the next. It slices through the dense, glorious noise not by sheer volume, but by sheer emotional truth. She piles poetic depth into these roaring soundscapes until feeling and sound become indistinguishable. Pim isn’t just the soul of this band—she’s the lightning in its storm.
For anyone craving alt.rock with serious emotional depth and killer hooks, “Tears from the Sun” is essential listening. Pre-save it, mark your calendar for May 16th, and prepare to add this instant PEEL classic to your heavy rotation. This is alt.rock done right – intense, beautiful, and absolutely unforgettable. Don’t sleep on it.
