Å for Prog Folk - Progressive Rock Music Forum

^ I sometimes respond in kind. It's different from your unprovoked attacks. I also don't deliberately post offensive stuff and then later edit it out to pretend it never happened.

But feel free to disagree.

^ Let's face facts, you are just an a****le.

Nah. I just find that nationalist Finnish PSA hilariously propagandous. Like, in a "so bad it's good" sorta way. Everytime I see the letter Å by itself, I'm reminded of it and I get a chuckle. :D

I agree with Sean Trane here, you just seem rude here with that image.

This is a suggestion thread, your post just does not help in any way.

Will the band be added to the site eventually? What genre would be chosen?

I also have problems with the "Psychedelic/Space Rock" label. Although if another Swedish band (Agusa) are in that section, I can understand this band being in that category as well.

It's psychedelic yes, but including it in the psychedelic/space rock section I think can create confusion. On the last album the drift is much more folky and that is why I have proposed including it in "Prog Folk". They have a varied sound, but of all the Progarchives sections, that is the one I think it fits best.

Thanks Gordy! 😊

Hello friends of Progarchives. I would like to add a band/album to the database. This is the Swedish band Å. Based on their latest album "Åtråvärld", they have a sound with obvious folk influence (very much in the style of other Scandinavian bands) mixed with progressive rock and psychedelic rock. I consider the "Prog Folk" genre to be perfect for them.

Artist Name: Å

Subgenre: Prog Folk

Album: Åtråvärld

Biography (Directly sent to me by Joel Öhlund):

The trio Å from Uppsala in Sweden takes the progressive rock a step further with metal, jazz, reggae, heavy beats and folk vibes from around the world mixed with swedish lyrics and a lot of improvisation. The band formed in 2009, consists of Joel Öhlund, Erik Wallin and Milovan Fredriksson. They have 3 studio albums to date.

Å is the swedish letter after Z but also a trio from Uppsala. As a band Å focus on feeling, improvisation and playfulness when performing. Anything can happen!. The trio occasionally invite other musicians/soloists to play. These times the music can go even further into the unknown. The audience is invited to a great mix of psychedelic rock, folk music from around the world, metal, reggae and jazz.

The Band:

Joel Öhlund (vocals, guitar)

Milovan Fredriksson (bass)

Erik Wallin (drums)

I hope you can add this excellent band to the database. I think that, both for style and quality, it belongs in Progarchives.

Greetings from Spain,
