The New Normal, released on 12 April 2005, is the debut album from Australian trio Cog, and they went a long way to make it: all the way to Weed, California, where Sylvia Massy, whose credits run through Tool, System of a Down and Spiderbait, produced and recorded it. Flynn Gower sings and plays guitar, Luke Gower plays bass and Lucius Borich drums, and together they kick up a heavy, knotty, progressive racket that owes something to Tool, Helmet and Deftones, even if Nina Simone and Bob Marley are on their list of influences too.
Triple J made it their album of the week, it climbed to number 19 on the ARIA chart, and it was up for Australian Album of the Year at the 2005 J Awards.
