Normil Hawaiians are an experimental post-punk collective from the South London area, centered around vocalist/guitarist Guy Smith. Formed in 1979, the group evolved from a more upbeat, punk-inspired band (producing the 1980 single "The Beat Goes On," which made the U.K. independent singles chart) to an eccentric avant-garde outfit in the mid-'80s, but all of their work contained politically conscious lyrics and a D.I.Y. mentality. After decades of obscurity, the group's albums were reissued during the 2010s, and an updated lineup was assembled. The reunited band released the single "In the Stone" in 2020, and the 2021 compilation Dark World gathered the best of their early material. Empires Into Sand, the band's first full-length since their re-formation, arrived in 2024.

"Huge day today! Normil Hawaiians’ first new album in 40 years will be coming out on Upset The Rhythm on May 3rd. Titled ‘Empires into Sand’, the record is an incredible patchwork cloak of ideas drawing on ambient drone, motorik impulse, folk idiom and a certain cosmic uncanny.

"A Windswept album recorded in a windswept Scottish coastal retreat, ‘Empires into Sand’ swims with short wave radio interference and overheard satellite transmissions. These are winding rivers of song, peopled with the displaced, determined, downhearted yet hopeful. Swirling atmospheres, field recordings, tape-looped drums, rapid synth flights and soaring vocals all abound in this echo from the now.
