Lazy Queen has had widespread support from i.e. KERRANG, CLASH, Rock Sound, and several spins from Jack Saunders over at BBC Radio 1. They toured UK twice after the pandemic and it’s immediate, it’s urgent, it impatiently demands your attention. They now follow up their EPs A Human Reaction (2022) and Growing Pains (2023) with a new album in 2026 on Icons Creating Evil Art. While we wait we get some new recordings of early material on Mixtape: Lost, Never To Be Seen Again vol. 1 , released May 30th. Founding member and vocalist Henrik García Søberg (they/them) tell us the story about the single:

- ""Unemployed, Uninspired is, in my mind, the musical equivalent of screaming fuck-off-and-let-me-self-destruct-in-peace into one’s pillow. We wrote it in 2017 and had it as a regular part of our live-set at the time, but never got around to recording it. Fittingly, I'm back to being unemployed at the moment, so this EP is a natural release for the track to finally appear on. Despite, or perhaps because of, its overt darkness and cynicism, it’s such a fun and cathartic song to play and simply surrender oneself over to. Thematically, it might not be the healthiest mindset, and I’m pretty sure my therapist wouldn’t approve, but sometimes you gotta remember the eternal words of Shrek: “better out than in, I always say”.  
It also contains the only Norwegian lyrics in Lazy Queen's catalogue - so we had to get it recorded for posterity. Anyways, anyone hiring?"

A couple of years back Lazy Queen entered the Norwegian music scene as a blast of fresh air, making the move from New York, where Colombian-Norwegian Henrik García Søberg founded the band. Fast forward to now, the Oslo-based band have embraced the new decade with an ever-evolving attitude of acceptance, perseverance and survival, creating an effervescent soundtrack along their journey. With an instinctive ear for melody and a uniquely intuitive sense of identity, Lazy Queen effortlessly weaves harmonic and discordant elements together that transform into a rich soundscape of bouncy yet jagged poignancy when the band comes together to complete the jigsaw puzzle of each track. Like CLASH puts it, “their penchant for bouncy, punk-infused electro-pop allows them to deliver poignancy with a sprinkle of sugar”. It’s immediate. It’s urgent. It impatiently demands your attention. 

It’s no surprise then that Lazy Queen’s ingenuity has been praised by fans and music outlets all over the world.  Lazy Queen have four storming EPs under their belt; 2019’s “A Sigh So Deep”,  2021’s “Get Home Or Die Trying”, 2022's “A Human Reaction” and 2023's “Growing Pains” - the latter two released on Swedish tastemaker label Icons Creating Evil Art. Several singles receiving spins from Norway’s own P3, UK’s BBC Introducing Networks as well as BBC Radio 1’s Future Alternative show with Jack Saunders, prompting the following response "This band feels like such a rare discovery…it doesn't feel like a carbon copy, it doesn't feel like they're trying to be anyone else but themselves”. The band has received huge praise across the board with press from Kerrang! to CLASH, Rolling Stone France to Rock Sound, Visions DE to Louder Than War.

On top of this, Lazy Queen have lauded across digital streaming platforms, recognised by Spotify playlists:  Fresh Finds Global, New Music Friday Norway, The Punk List, All New Rock, 100% Rock, Rock idag and Rock ei ole kuollut and many more, as well as Apple Music’s New Music Daily, The New Rock and Flesh Blood.
