Agent Blå, Gothenburg's indie pop promise, comes to introduce themselves to Finland
The Swedish indie pop band Agent Blå, who recently released a new album, will come to Finland for the first time on September 6 and will perform at Kannusali together with the domestic opening act, Midsommaren.
Agent blå is a Swedish indie pop band known for crafting dreamy soundscapes that blend elements of post-punk and shoegaze. Characterized by lush, reverb-soaked guitars, haunting melodies, and emotive vocals, Agent Blå's discography includes internationally critically acclaimed albums like "Agent Blue" (2017) and the ”Medium Rare” EP (2018). In 2020 they released their EP "Atopos" on Kanine Records but since then they've been in the studio.
The third studio album "STAB!" surely is something special. For the first time, the band has been in charge of everything from start to finish. The transformation from being just songwriters and musicians to being producers was a long and windy road but at the same time, it brought many advantages. The songs were developed slowly and precisely.
The album brings a wider musical array with influences from krautrock, instrumental & psychedelic music, while still staying true to their post-punk heritage. The album was recorded in Studio Bella Figura, Gothenburg under extremely spartan conditions, which helped define the sound of the album.
Formed in 2014 in the city of Gothenburg, their debut single “Strand” shook the ground and made them a name on the scene instantly. Since then, they have been a huge part of the indie scene in Sweden.
The band consists of Emelie Alatalo (vocals), Felix Skörvald (guitar, synth), Lucas Gustavsson (guitar), Sebastian Falk (bass), Arvid Christensen (drums), and Tobias Bauer (keys, guitar, percussion).
The new album is released by VÅRØ RECORDS in Europe and by KANINE RECORDS in the rest of the world.
Agent Blå (SWE) + Midsommaren at Kannusali on Friday, September 6. Tickets 20/18 € + order fee (starting from 1.50 €) in advance at lippu.fi and one hour before the event at the door, if there are any tickets left.
