Dolores Haze is not to be mistaken for the fashion brand of the same name. Upon listening to the four-piece, Stockholm-based noise-rockย band, you would instantly realize that you're in the wrong place, but we wanted to get that out of the way fromย the jump.ย The band membersย goย by the names Groovy Nickz (vocals, bass),ย Groovy Fuck (rhythm guitar),ย Lucky Lollo (lead guitar), andย Foxy Sagz (drums).ย Theย Accidentalย EP earned the bandย international attentionย and helped themย emerge from Sweden's underground scene.
Of course, we also recognize the name Dolores Haze from Vladimir Nabokov's infamous classicย Lolita, and we must say that the band certainly has characteristicsย that remindย us ofย Humbert's obsession: rebellious, angsty, outspoken, and a little dark. (I mean, when a band classifies their genre as "goth sex" and "diva couture," you've kind of been warned that you're stepping into unexploredย territory.)
Today, NYLON isย premiering Dolores Haze'sย The Haze Is Foreverย LP before theย official release on November 13 via Woah Dad.ย "We're so excited that our love child's finally here, our first-born full-length and the result of all the tears and heartbeats of this past year," the band said over email.ย
From start to finish, the albumย will rev you upโthere's no easing yourself intoย it. Listen to The Haze Is Forever,ย below.ย
