In just two weeks, Swedish metal collective SOEN will unleash their long-waited new full-length, Lotus, via Silver Lining Music.

PEKING DUK x JACK RIVER

On this new release, Peking Duk comment, “This beat and song went through so many different lifeforms before Holly jumped on board.

She changed what was once a sombre melancholic skeleton of a song in to a fun, playful and sugary playground. Stoked. ❤”
