Rising Los Angeles band Cryogeyser today shared new single “Mountain (Feat. Wednesday).” Featuring vocals from Wednesday’s Karly Hartzman, the anthemic, ascendant track is the final single from their self-titled album, out this Friday. “Mountain” captures the essence of dedicating oneself to growth, transformation, vulnerability, and self acceptance: “I hear one door closing holds another open.” Guitarist/vocalist Shawn Marom points to this song as a unique one for the band. “It’s about friendship, about having instead of longing. It’s a song about opening.” “Mountain” follows recent singles “Stargirl,” “Sorry,” “Blue Light,” and “Fortress,” which received career-high praise from The FADER, FLOOD Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan, The Line of Best Fit, Beats Per Minute, Northern Transmissions, Our Culture, and more.

The band have also announced a Cryogeyser (Shawn Marom solo) UK tour supporting Spirit of the Beehive, including shows at London’s The Dome (2/27) and Glasgow’s The Flying Duck (2/22). Cryogeyser will later head out on a North American headline tour, beginning on 3/27 in Santa Ana, CA, which will include a Los Angeles show at the Lodge Room on 3/28 and a Brooklyn show at Baby’s All Right on 4/13. A full itinerary is below.
Since their 2019 debut album Glitch, Cryogeyser has delivered a steady arc of distinctive melodies—both sonically mesmerizing and cathartic. Reflecting years of breakdown, renewal, and lucid introspection, Cryogeyser finds the band at their most evolved, fortifying existing strengths and exploring new sonic sensibilities: huge, gritty guitars, blissful pop melodies, surreal soundscapes, and tenderly immediate vocals. Marom, CapittiFenton, and Samson Klitsner (bass) have shifted their earlier vision of longing and resistance to one of metamorphosis, and cemented a spellbinding sound that realizes their transfigurative trajectory.
Each song on Cryogeyser invites listeners to submit fully to landscapes that illuminate the viscerality of transformation. “This album is about heat,” Marom explains. “Capturing ice and holding it forever—even as it melts—knowing you’re burning but staying in orbit.” Across the album’s sonic thresholds is a transfixing, heartfelt drive that celebrates the warmth that can emerge from new realizations. “Before music, I often felt like I took up too much space,” they reflect on Cryogeyser, which marks a deeply personal evolution. “This album is about transforming that shame into something shimmery and hopeful—playing like myself and no one else.” In immersive dedication to vulnerability, change, and the inevitable passage of time, the collection encapsulates the band’s journey and is a testament to Cryogeyser’s ethos: burning curiosity and fearless exploration of seemingly immutable grief.
