Dealing in a hypnotic blend of neo-psychedelia, post-punk and new wave, The Third Sound is a Berlin-based band led by the Icelandic musician Hákon Aðalsteinsson, who is the guitarist in Brian Jonestown Massacre and formerly played in the cult rock’n’roll outfit Singapore Sling. A mainstay of the European psych underground in his own right, not just through his collaborations with the likes of Anton Newcombe and Tess Parks, The Third Sound has been Hakon’s primary solo endeavour since the release of his self-titled debut on Newcombe’s A Recordings a decade ago.
After several lineup changes and 6 studio albums, mostly released on Fuzz Club, the band now consists of Hákon, long time collaborator Robin Hughes and newly recruited brothers Franky and Liam Broek (Goblyns).
Their latest album, Most Perfect Solitude, came out in April 2024. Having spent the last few years touring heavily in The Third Sound, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Golden Hours, Hákon’s mileage on the road influenced the making of the record in a number of ways. It was written and recorded over two weeks during a rare break in his gigging schedule, and travelling – and all the isolation and solitude that comes with it – also courses through the themes of the album itself.
