I red in the paper this morning a review of a new album from Kenekajse (it got 3/5) and had to check if it was true, and yes, their first studio album since 1979 is released today!
 
Kebnekajse was one of the leading acts of the progressive scene in 70s Sweden who became famous for their interpretations of traditional Swedish folk tunes. After some changes in musical directions and band members they broke up after their "Vi drar vidare" album in 79. The core members (the six out of eleven members that was on most albums) reformed in the early 00s and has toured Sweden since, and now release a new self-titled album.
 
Here's from their official homepage, where you also can see the track list:
 
 
 
EDIT: I should add, the musical style of the new album is the same as on their most popular second and third albums; Folk Rock based on traditional Swedish music.

They are playing the Swedish Rock festival this summer too. That's together with a host of other top prog and hard rock bands. The likes of Black Sabbath and Dream Theater. The Swedish Rock Festival is one of the best annual festivals on this planet for those into hard rock and prog...... with a sprinkling of harder metal. Immortal are playing this year's festival too (yes, I am a fan of them too).

You cannot go wrong with this festival.

If it is, this is a no brain acquisition for me.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Bought it today and listened to it almost immiediatly when I got home.
 
First impression is that it definitely is a continuation of their second and third albums, they really pick up where they left 35 years ago!
 
 
Added the album to the PA database too.
