We did share a first taste of the new Gösta Berlings Saga album a couple of weeks ago, the band from Stockholm, Sweden are always worth your time, a lush experimental forward looking properly progressive band, progressive rock that does not rely on clichés or indeed showing off, and a million miles from that Neo nonsense. The band have just let loose a second taste of what so far is sounding like a rather fine new album, an epic nineteen minute instrumental slice of prog called Fragment I that you really do need to take nineteen proper minutes out to listen to without distraction, to float off with, to bite on to. It is maybe a little more floaty and space-flavoured than they usually are, if you don’t know the band already, do explore more further down the page….

You can fine the track right now on Bandcamp and indeed grab at a pay whatever you want price…

The last time we bumped in to these fine people, they were bouncing around at te front of the Cardiacs gathering at the Garage celebrating Tim Smith with the rest of us. Here’s the original post about that first taste of the new album – – ORGAN: Five Music Things – A first taste of Gösta Berlings Saga’s new album, more from Niis, meanwhile over on Anglesey, Gorwel Owen while Michael Woodman, he of Thumpermonkey, has some new solo material and Circuit Des Yeux with more of that new album that’s out this week…. or altertnatively the details are just down there underneath the artwork for the new album.

Let it flow now, give it time, Gösta Berlings Saga are never immediate, you kind of think oh there’s nothing much here but then they start to grab you and the hooks start to get in and the bits that kind of go off and things and, oh that was a good bit and then you ksiten again and hey, this is damn good, they always grab you, give the band a bit of time, then go explore thier excellent back vatalogue

Here’s some more from 2020….
