Normandie announce new album Dopamine and UK/European headline tour

Normandie have announced their new album Dopamine, as well as a UK/European headline tour that will quickly follow the record’s release.

The trio will unveil Dopamine in full on February 9, 2024, with vocalist Philip Strand sharing that, “The whole album is about the chase for different highs and natural chemicals: oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, adrenaline… What if dopamine had to be clinically provided because we’ve burned through our receptors?

“Making this album futuristic and dystopian came very naturally when we started discussing the current state of the world,” the singer continues. “We’re all on overdrive. We’re upping the stakes all the time, and everybody has a higher tolerance now for stress in a way that nobody saw coming.

“Back in the old days you were sowing potatoes and that was your one goal for the day – we were hunter-gatherers and we were just there to provide for our families. Today, we have so many things going on. We’re taught to chase our dreams, but chasing something in the future means you might miss the moment.”

To preview the LP, Normandie have also unveiled new single Flowers For The Grave, which Philip says is “about not saving the best for last. Live your life on the daily and appreciate things taking their time! We’re taught to chase our dreams, but chasing something in the future means you might miss the moment.”
