Cryogeyser

Los Angeles trio Cryogeyser today announced that their self-titled new album will be released on February 14th, 2025. The band has also shared the gliding, evocatively slow burning single “Stargirl” alongside a Lance Bangs-directed video. The song sees guitarist/vocalist Shawn Marom approach the unanswerable questions of what it means to matter to someone else, but not forever, dwelling on small moments and missed opportunities. “Stargirl” asks what the album answers: is the only way out of grief through it? Today’s announcement follows previous singles and additional album tracks “Sorry,” “Blue Light,” and “Fortress,” which have earned praise and support from Brooklyn Vegan, FLOOD Magazine, Northern Transmissions, PunkNews, Vanyaland, and more.

“I wrote this song 3 weeks after the release of the last Cryogeyser record,” Marom explains. “It’s my most cherished song, everyone I’ve ever loved has had their hands on it; whether it was jamming in the room, writing the bass parts, recording it, tracking it, inspiring it, changing it, expanding it, or remembering it at shows. For me, ‘Stargirl’ is like time traveling–it has meant so many things to me, and I wonder what it will mean to all of you. At the foot of our next record, of songs from near and far that time traveled to get here, we’re (finally) releasing ‘Stargirl.’”

Cryogeyser will embark on a lengthy North American headline tour in support of the album in March, beginning on 3/27 in Santa Ana, CA. The tour 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. Marom recently wrapped up a Cryogeyser solo tour opening for Wednesday (Karly Hartzman solo), which saw multiple sold out shows. A current 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.

While previous albums were centered around longing and resistance to pain, Cryogeyser deals with processing it. This departure from longing offers listeners the chance to experience lived change that’s been seen all the way through: the band’s transfiguration. The album’s artwork–hand-drawn scissors opening into an antique silver butterfly manipulated by crude tools–reflects this, and carries the ornate and personal history of prior albums to a more immediate portrayal of transformation. Marom says: “I picture the album flowing from its core, experiencing a rise, a swell, and then an explosion—resulting in a blue-orange fantasy of icy magma; sludge that’s so cold it burns,” which is not far off from Webster’s definition of a cryogeyser. Cryogeyser, welcoming and full of devotion, offers an invitation to experience the grace of vulnerability and unforgettable portals of transformation.
