Finnish Tampere-based alternative stoner rock band Rückwater released their second studio album Bored Machine on October 4th 2024.  

LISTEN to the Bored Machine album on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/ruckwater-bored 

The band comments:
“Musically, Bored Machine is a more progressive work than its predecessor (Supernova). The songs have been written with a deliberate risk-taking approach and an attempt to diversify the song structures. All the material was recorded live, as on the previous album, capturing the band’s strong chemistry and groove.

Bored Machine is a strongly thematic work that explores and partly criticises society and the world around us. Follow the Money is about social media influencers who have power because of their large number of followers, but who do not take responsibility for their actions/words. Mental health issues are addressed in several pieces, for example, Look at the Sky, Blue Lake Escape and Waiting for the Ride. Homo Economicus is about human greed, while No More Air is about dictators and authority. N.O.T.S.Y. is about forgiveness and Birthday Boy is a birthday rally.” 

Track list:
1 N.O.T.S.Y.
2 Birthday Boy
3 No More Air
4 Homo Economicus
5 Follow The Money
6 Look At The Sky
7 Blue Lake Escape
8 Waiting For The Ride

Finnish Tampere-based alternative stoner rock band Rückwater is set to release their second studio album Bored Machine on October 4th 2024. 

The second single “No More Air” is released today and it’s available on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/ruckwater-no 

  • Composed, lyrics and arranged by Rückwater
  • Single cover by Tanja Rämö

The band comments:
“The second single from the upcoming “Bored Machine” album “No More Air” is about leaders who want power and admiration at any cost. Completely blinded by power and oblivious to the suffering of others, these human monsters continue their atrocities from their ivory towers. In a good case, however, these great “leaders” do not have happy endings. No Sir! They are shot at dawn and their bodies are desecrated in the streets.

As a composition, the song is Rückwater’s heaviest and slowest section, with influences from the metal side as well. Jesse Jukuri, who was in charge of the recording and mixing, has conjured up a skull-crushing and doomy ass atmosphere for this song together with the band.”

1 N.O.T.S.Y.

Finnish Tampere-based alternative stoner rock band RÜCKWATER is set to release their second studio album Bored Machine later this year. The first single Homo Economicus is released today and it’s available on most streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/ruckwater-homo – Single cover by Teuvo Karjalainen.

The band comments:
“The new song “Homo Economicus” by Rückwater strikes straight to the heart with its gritty and straightforward style. In this track, progressive rock and stoner rock merge into a powerful musical storm that grabs you and prompts the listener to contemplate the role of humanity and its relationship with the surrounding world. The energy and rough sound of the song create an intense atmosphere that will linger in your mind.

Rückwater’s expression is direct and honest, without unnecessary embellishments. The band’s music invites you on a journey where you can momentarily forget yourself and fully immerse yourself in the power of the sounds. Step out of your comfort zone and allow yourself to be engulfed in Rückwater’s world.”
