Pontus Åkesson and Petter Sandström of Swedish Proggers 'Moon Safari' Exclusive!
'Moon Safari' Creative Symphonic Prog Music Headlining Majestic Vocal Harmony!
Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.
After a near decade-long recording process, Swedish progressive rockers, Moon Safari are set to make a comeback this winter with their 5th studio album Himlabacken Vol. 2. The album will be released on December 6th through Marquee Inc. in Japan and worldwide on December 8th.
"It took us ten years, for a million different reasons. But we're not dead yet. We return with what we know is a worthy comeback album, filled with our own special brand of symphonic rock cultivated over 20 years as an antidote to the long, dark winters of northern Sweden, with those trademark vocal group-inspired harmonies, uplifting melodies and soulful romantic lyrics that our fans have come to expect. With the addition of ex. Black Bonzo drummer Mikael Israelsson to the band we've totally revamped and boosted the low end of our sound, tightened it up, and that attitude shift is felt through our entire arrangements. Tying it all together is the mix by the great Rich Mouser. He's been the go-to guy for the big boys in the genre for many years, and now we understand why. The mix is clear and punchy, booming and never flat. It just sounds expensive, and we couldn't be happier. You'll get almost 70 minutes of this heady brew, spread over nine tracks, with zero fillers. And of course, there's the obligatory epic. The whole thing is a banger, and we're immensely proud of it.
