Chances are, if you’re reading this you’re burnt out. You’re tired, you’re stressed, you’re working. You’re surviving. So what do we do? We consume. Turning to screens, alcohol, substances and transactional relationships for a quick fix of dopamine, a little endorphin rush, a sharp boost of oxytocin. As we move along, our tolerance for all of these things rises, and our capacity to operate without them falls. We block up our neurotransmitters, and need more and more hits just to function and feel human. Put simply, it’s addiction. It’s ruining our brains, taking over our lives, but it’s all so... gratifying. Set in a not-too-distant and - crucially - not-at-all-unrealistic future, Normandie’s fourth album, ‘Dopamine’ finds the band asking and answering two unsettling questions: what if we pushed our brains and bodies far beyond their limits? And what if we already are? “The whole album is about the chase for different highs and natural chemicals: oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, adrenaline...” starts frontman Philip Strand. “What if dopamine had to be clinically provided because we've burned through our receptors?” “Making this album futuristic and dystopian came very naturally when we started discussing the current state of the world. We’re all on overdrive. We’re upping the stakes all the time, and everybody has a higher tolerance now for stress in a way that nobody saw coming,” he explains.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Easy Life","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50399316509003,"sku":"2175561","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50399315329355,"sku":"2175553","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_e8ae58a5_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726504364"},{"product_id":"dark-and-beautiful-secrets","title":"Dark and Beautiful Secrets","description":"\u003cp\u003eNormandie are a Stockholm trio – with frontman Philip Strand, completed by guitarist Håkan Almbladh and drummer Anton Franzon – following the incredible success of \u003ci\u003eWhite Flag,\u003c\/i\u003e which has amassed over 25 million streams.
