39-CD-KAR-281
“Since their formation in 2013, Swedish progressive rock band Agusa has carved out a distinct name for themselves in the world of retro prog, Scandinavian folk rock, and Krautrock. Their evocative sound and immersive compositions made such an impact that Karisma Records is now proud to present a reissue of their debut album, Högtid.
Originally released in 2014, Högtid quickly became a favourite among fans of vintage progressive rock. The album is a masterful collection of extended instrumentals, weaving together folky melodies, psychedelic jams, and otherworldly Krautrock explorations.
Listeners will hear echoes of Kebnekajse, Amon Düül II, and Camel, as Agusa channels the spirit of the genre’s golden era while crafting a sound that is uniquely their own. Though guitarist Mikael Ödesjö remains the only original member from the Högtid lineup, this album stands as a bold and timeless introduction to Agusa’s musical journey.
Now remastered by Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna, Dina Ögon, Crippled Black Phoenix).
"This is my early frontrunner for album of the year and its going to be hard to beat. Agusa is an instrumental quartet from Sweden. The band is derived from members of Sveriges Kommuner & Landsting, Kama Loka and Hoofoot. This is a VERY retro sounding album that will appeal to fans of Kebnekajse, Pink Floyd, and perhaps even Anglagard. No symphonic elements - just straight up organ, guitar, bass, and drums ripping it up over four long tracks. Very dynamic sounds going on - shimmering echoey guitar leads that will remind you of Kenny Håkanson or Achim Reichel battling it out with undercurrents of organ that erupt into solos. Overarching the music is a mystical psychedelic vibe - like this whole thing was cooked up in an Arab hashish den."-Ken Golden
