Swedish 70s rock maestros GIN LADY announce the release of their new album “Before The Dawn Of Time” on February 7th through Ripple Music and present the debut single “The Paramount” and its colorful accompanying video today.
“The Paramount takes everything we know and love about Gin Lady and tightens it up, while adding new layers of texture and complexity. It’s a little more psychedelic, a little more expansive, but still rooted in that same raw, earthy sound that made us fall in love with them in the first place (…) This is one band you’ll want to keep an eye on in 2025—because, as always, they’re moving forward, never looking back,” says It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine editor.
GIN LADY melds American roots rock with warm and shimmering 70s rock influences into a timeless and uplifting tapestry of velvety grooves, soft and finely chiseled riffs and stunning 3-way vocal melodies. At times psychedelic and subtly proggy, their music travels the ages while bringing to the forefront topical themes such as environmental destruction, communication breakdowns and humanity’s unability to find common ground. In the end, the Swedes’ rich and soul-stirring music is a vessel for hope, reminding us that love will always find a way.
About the album theme, the band comments: “Before The Dawn Of Time” is our view of the world that we live in today both on a larger scale and as individuals in it. What are the important things in life? What can we do as fellow humans to make it a better place? There’s a darkness coming or maybe it’s already here, as a veil, it distorts the way we look at things. The lyrics deal with our failure to communicate, the way we treat our environment and the way nature reacts when provoked by us, the ones that need to stand at the gates and say that’s enough, the fact that love, trust in one another and hope is the only true way out of this mess and that the distance grows between our stars and galaxies. It’s dreamy and psychedelic in lyrics and arrangements yet the sound is tight and organic, recorded live by the band in the best vintage studio in Sweden, Svenska Grammofonstudion.”

Gin Lady was formed in the northern parts of Sweden in 2011. The band is a highly productive unit and is most strongly rooted in a sound that oozes the early 70s with plenty of classic rock mixed with strong melodies delivered with three-part harmonies. Early work such as Gin Lady (2011), Mother’s Ruin (2013), Call the Nation (2015), Electric Earth (2017), Tall Sun Crooked Moon (2019) and Camping with Bohdi (2021) shows their skyrocketing progression as songwriters, ones who won’t stand still and gather moss.
Gin Lady has played a wide array of shows in Sweden and Europe and are known for their love of improvisation and stunning jams for a unique live experience. In 2024, they signed to Californian label Ripple Music for the world release of their seventh studio album ’Before the Dawn of Time’ (recorded at the classic studio Svenska Grammofonstudion in Gothenburg) in February 2025. The band will kick off the new year with a tour of Spain.
