Singer/songwriter Lukas Somers will be releasing Atlas, his second album under the moniker Solak, on November 15th, 2024, via Capitane Records. The single “Untitled Cowboy”, heralding the album, is out now. It’s accompanied by a video. The song itself is based upon a “very personal dream.”
In the summer of 2021, with a handful of new songs, Somers left for Ocean Sound Recording Studios in Norway, where Arcade Fire and Travis had previously recorded. As on his previous album, he worked with technician/mixer Steven van Gelder.
Unlike with previous work, for this album, Somers feel that the project Solak has morphed into a band.
He shares:
I still write on my own, and I obviously set some boundaries. But within that framework, the musicians are given the freedom to add their own personality. I enjoy that myself when I’m playing for someone else.

He adds about the album:
I hope that those who listen to my music come closer to themselves. That after an eventful day the stress flows away, and the feeling prevails that everything will be alright.
