FOREVER NOW

Forever Now, Gösta Berlings Saga's seventh studio album, surprised me immensely: a gem, without a doubt. It's a modern experimental classic and a refreshing listen for ears tired of hearing the same old thing over and over again. The Stockholm-based band refuses to be pigeonholed and avoids the usual clichés. Their style combines analog and digital keyboards to create soft, dense atmospheres, like a soundtrack that's sometimes dark, but always cinematic, with moments of light.

The sound is carefully crafted, with David Lundberg in charge of compositions and a wide range of keyboards. He's accompanied by Rasmus Boberg on guitar and mixing, Alex Skepp on drums, and Gabriel Tapper on bass and Moog pedals. You can clearly hear the evolution in their sound: more refined, more mature, and more focused than ever.

My favorite song is Forever Now, a perfect example of their ability to balance emotion and experimentation.
