Agusa
Good morning.
Today we’re listening to Agusa, a Swedish psychedelic progressive folk rock quintet.1 Agusa formed in Malmö in 2013, aiming to bring together the epicness of prog rock with Swedish folk and classical influences. The band’s music consists of shredding guitar along with “Hammond organ swells” and “breathy, overblown flute,” as Last Rites put it. We’re first playing Agusa’s 2021 record, En annan värld, whose two 20+ minute tracks are transportive prog rock epics. We’re also playing their brand new album, Prima Materia, which came out last month and offers similar but shorter musical quests.

Have a great Thursday.
Their words, not ours
In all honesty, rather than being desk-friendly fare, Agusa invites the backyard party inside. It's not 'work music' at all, yet here I am, listening. It is hardly the worst music choice I have made for office listening - except that between the scents from an open window, it reminds me of where I could be.
Love it! I want more Wolf People, so this is good for me.
