Danish Rock Duo VINYL FLOOR Release New Album ‘Balancing Act’

‘Balancing Act’, the sixth full length album release from Danish rock duo Vinyl Floor, is out today!

The new record finds the band further exploring their melodic rock sound and is a natural progression from their previous release ‘Funhouse Mirror’ (2022). The new album features all the characteristic sounds of Vinyl Floor: a foundation of drums, bass and guitars coloured with an array of horns, strings, electronic elements and distinct vocal harmonies.

The band, together with renowned Swedish producer and engineer Emil Isaksson, recorded the basic tracks live at Studio Möllan in Malmö, Sweden during the autumn of 2024 and then did all the overdubbing and vocals at their own studio in Copenhagen, Denmark during the first half of 2025. The album was mixed and mastered by Søren Vestergaard at The Shelter. The front cover art is a painting by Swedish artist Kristina Jellstam and the album artwork is designed by Kristian Kokholm.

‘Balancing Act’ is an album about trying to balance life and searching for beauty and meaning in a world full of chaos, treason, insecurity and false promises. A world which itself currently seems out of balance. Musically, Vinyl Floor has opted for a warm and organic vintage-sound with a clear and nuanced, modern production of songs with a strong emphasis on melody, hooks and lyrics.

The 13 songs on the album were written by Daniel Pedersen & Thomas Charlie Pedersen, with the two brothers share the lead vocal duties. The brothers also handled most instruments themselves but invited additional musicians to play on several tracks. Swedish multi-instrumentalist Bebe Risenfors contributed a selection of horns and upright bass to 4 songs. Risenfors has previously recorded withElvis Costello and Tom Waits, with his work featured on the Tom Waits’ albums ‘Alice’, ‘Blood Money’ and ‘Orphans’. Danish classical musician Christian Ellegaard, who is a member of the national Danish Symphony Orchestra, plays strings on 5 songs. Finally, Danish guitarist Daniel Hecht (Franklin Zoo, The Breakers) plays additional guitar on two tracks.
