White Willow and Frequency Drift members team up for cinematic sounds.

Stockholm instrumentalists Gösta Berlings Saga are back and celebrating 25 years of heady musical adventures with their seventh album, Forever Now . Driven by a thrill-seeking wanderlust to explore new sounds and the desire to remain recognisable, the band tell Prog they’re always searching for something new, even if they’re not actually sure what that is.

Scandi-prog collective will release the first in their new trilogy this September.
