The follow-up to 2015’s Agusa 2 (Två ) sees the AGUSA circle expanding their kaleidoscopic output which conjures images of nature and the cosmos, their extensive passages again leading the listener into fantastic realms of a possibly supernatural or parallel existence. While Agusa 2 (Två) engulfed forty minutes of music through two massive tracks, Agusa sees the band delivering their singular brand of, trance-inducing, folk-inspired, occult rock through more traditional track lengths, offering five songs which range from five to ten-and-a-half minutes in length and are a bit heavier than the album’s predecessors.Also read the review at theobelisk.net
With almost forty minutes of new material, Agusa delivers a wide array of seamlessly executed, organic rock on the aptly titled Agusa 2. The band's tranquil output blends tripped out psychedelic and progressive rock structures. Two epic length tracks are inspired more by folk, occult influences, instillin visions of nature, the cosmos, and dreamlike passages, meandering into realms of a possibly supernatural or parallel existence. While not a fully instrumental recording, backing vocal mantras only seep in through purposeful cracks in the construction of these immense movements, adding an even more spacious feel to the overall flow of the album.Media/Samples
Agusa is a new Swedish band with obvious leanings toward such diverse acts as Kebnekajse (Sweden), Amon Düül II (Germany) and Colosseum (UK), but at the same time presenting something unique. Authentic 70's progressive tunes that lived through four decades can be heard on this amazing album! Featuring members of Sveriges Kommuner & Landsting, Kama Loka and Hoofoot.
