Smag På Dig Selv Release A Viking Anthem For The Autumn Season- ‘Let’s Go!’

Published

on

Danish trio Smag På Dig Selv (SPDS) return with ‘Let’s Go!’, the second single from their upcoming album to be released in March 2026. The track is a Viking anthem wrapped in electronic chaos, throat singing and electro punch produced by hyped, charting Danish producer TMI Tammi.

‘Let’s Go!’ was composed in the October 2024, when the band retreated to Albert’s 200 year-old summer cottage in the idyllic landscapes of North Zealand for a writing week. Originally, the plan was to create techno, but the autumnal, Bon Iver-like atmosphere shifted the mood. Instead, the musicians leaned into simply being a band, playing together in silence and letting the music speak. What emerged was a compromise between their initial intention and a newfound urge to explore the idea of an “ambient Viking band” – all brought to life with Carmen’s unmistakably maximalist production.

Since their debut in 2018, Smag På Dig Selv, consisting of Oliver Lauridsen (tenor sax), Thorbjørn Øllgaard (baritone and bass sax, vocals), and Albert Holberg (drums), have established themselves as one of Denmark’s most uncompromising and captivating live acts. With their explosive mix of acoustic techno, punk energy, and 90s dance, they have played everything from Roskilde Festival over SummerStage in Central Park, New York to showcase festivals such as SXSW, The Great Escape and Eurosonic.

After their debut album ‘SPDS’ from 2024 cemented them as one of the most boundary pushing groups on the Danish scene, the trio is now ready for the next step: a new album in March 2026 followed by the spectacular Christiania World Tour, where they will present the material in the heart of the Freetown, where the band itself was formed. With ‘Let’s Go!’, Smag På Dig Selv continue their mission to challenge the simple set up and musical output made from two saxophones and drums.
