Debut album “Far Away” hits like a cosmic gut punch as Austria’s next heavy psych export steps out of the void and into the fire
Full video interview at end.
There’s a moment — somewhere between the first riff and the last cigarette burn on the studio floor — where a band either collapses into itself… or ignites.
Lazer chose fire.
Straight out of Vienna, these guys aren’t easing their way into the scene. No polite introductions. No safe singles engineered for playlists. Just a debut record — “Far Away” — that sounds like it was dragged through space, kicked down a mountain, and wired back together in a garage at 3am by people who had something to prove.
And they do.
This is their first album.
This is one of their first interviews.
And already, there’s that dangerous feeling… like you’re catching something early.
The kind of early that turns into “I was there before everyone else got it.”
Because Lazer don’t sound like a band figuring it out.
They sound like a band that’s already locked in.
The guitars stretch wide — somewhere between the slow-burn hypnosis of Pink Floyd and the tectonic weight of Elder — but there’s a pulse underneath it all that feels urgent… restless… alive.
Not nostalgia. Not imitation.
Movement.
And when you sit down with Lukas, that energy makes sense almost immediately. There’s no filter. No PR script. Just honesty, momentum, and the kind of belief you can’t fake.
This isn’t a band assembled in a boardroom.
This is years of friendship, noise, mistakes, late nights, and finally — a moment where everything clicks hard enough to leave a dent.
“Far Away” wasn’t built to be perfect.
It was built to exist.
And now it does.
Loud.
Unapologetic.
And just a little bit unhinged.
Which is exactly how it should be.
Because here’s the thing — scenes don’t grow from perfection. They grow from bands like this. Bands that show up early, take the hit, and kick the door open just enough for everything else to follow.
Lazer feel like that band.
Not later.
Now.
So yeah — you can wait until they’re playing bigger stages, bigger festivals, bigger everything…
Or you can hit play below and see it at ground level, before the dust settles and the story gets cleaned up.
This is where it starts.
This is the gospel.
I bite crowd surfers.
Killer.
