Gösta Berlings Saga seems like an unusual name for a band, but these Swedish sonic adventurers are no ordinary opportunists seeking fame and fortune in the music business. Formed in the suburbs of Stockholm back not long after the arrival of the new millennium, the group has shown a willingness to evolve and embrace everything from dark symphonic to electronica to post-rock.

For a band known for its instrumental prowess, their moniker ironically owes its existence to words. The name is a nod to the debut novel of Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf, whose story famously became the film that launched the career of Greta Garbo, one of the greatest screen actresses of all time.

Konkret Music is the title track of the group’s sixth studio album, which delves deeper into the amazing amalgam of sounds, opting for an aggressive, high-energy romp that bounces Oingo-Boingo-like on speed and psychedelics. The karaoke dance on display in the video for the song is the perfect depiction of its delirious effects.

Gösta Berlings Saga is organized chaos at its best – compositional complexity that drives the music in a powerful, rhythmic way guaranteed to make you prick up your ears and get your body moving.
