En Annan Värld is Agusa's 4th studio album made up of two long tracks totaling 46 minutes. The first opus presented here is largely a continuation of what Agusa had established on their self titled 3rd album. On that review I stated that Agusa seems to be the next generation of Flasket Brinner, with organ, psychedelic guitar, and flute leading the instrumental parade. Their overall sound is very organic, and while complex, it doesn't seem overtly so. Melody and warm analog tones are their key drivers. The second track is a bit of a departure and introduces a Krautrock element. Oh darn, not that. lol. Elements of late 60s Pink Floyd trickle in, as Agusa flows into a deep space. The instrumentation remains the same as everything else they've done, so this is not a cold clinical exercise in modern post rock, which I usually find to be boring. Rather, Agusa are pure analog bliss, with a trippy 60s mindset. Doesn't get better than that. This is the second album in a row that Agusa transcends the competition to the highest level. And now I'm reading about a new 5th album. Might break down and get that one upon release. I don't do that much anymore.
Ownership: CD: 2021 Kommun 2. Simple digipak. I think they want everyone to buy the LP instead...
