Novozero’s latest single, “To All The Times,” emerges as a poignant exploration of life’s fleeting moments, encapsulating the band’s signature alt-rock essence. Hailing from Tromsø, Northern Norway, Novozero masterfully intertwines introspective lyrics with a rich tapestry of sound, inviting listeners to reflect on the transient nature of time.
The track opens with swirling, pulsating synths that gradually build momentum, creating an immersive atmosphere. As the song progresses, guitars, bass, synths, and drums converge, culminating in a rolling wave of sound that transports the listener on an emotional journey. This dynamic arrangement not only showcases the band’s versatility but also their ability to evoke deep introspection through music.
Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of genres—spanning old bluesy crooning, post-punk, 80s pop/new wave, 90s alt-rock, and modern electronic music—Novozero crafts a sound that is both nostalgic and contemporary. Lead vocalist Anna’s affinity for powerful choruses and strong melodies, combined with Andreas’s penchant for fuzz pedals and 80s synths, results in a harmonious blend that is uniquely Novozero.
“To All The Times” is a testament to the band’s evolution and resilience. Written during the harsh January winter of 2021, amidst a city under full lockdown and enveloped in the Polar Night’s darkness, the song reflects feelings of isolation and introspection. This period of solitude birthed several tracks, with three featuring on their debut EP, “Everything’s a Bit Funny Right Now,” which garnered national airplay on NRK and regional radio stations.
With this release, Novozero reaffirms their position in the alt-rock scene, offering a track that resonates with both long-time fans and new listeners alike. “To All The Times” is not just a song; it’s an experience—a reminder to cherish the ephemeral moments that define our existence.
