Release Date: 19/06/26Ruin Everything is the fifth studio album from Stockholm psychedelic-rock pioneers Les Big Byrd. Since forming in 2011, the four-piece have perfected their blend of space rock, hypnotizing psychedelia and disciplined kraut. Fronted by songwriter and producer Jocke Åhlund, Les Big Byrd have toured around the world while building a rabid following, alternating between being one of Sweden's biggest rock bands at home and an underground psych act abroad. After the experimental and instrumental-heavy Diamonds, Rhinestones and Hard Rain (2024), Ruin Everything finds Les Big Byrd returning to a more song-focused setting, reminiscent of their 2018 classic Iran Iraq IKEA. With the band's most adventurous tendencies reined in in favour of a tighter, more focused sound ranging from the dystopian epic "Big Flood" to the full-throttle space rock of "Hökvind", Ruin Everything is Les Big Byrd at their best yet.
