Swedish post rock outfit Sagor Som Leder Mot Slutet continue to balance darker, heavier atmospheres with a striking sense of elegance and vulnerability. As the band steadily delivers new material with great consistency, their instrumental songwriting remains as gripping as ever. Their latest album, IV, has arrived, and the sprawling ten-minute number Strävan showcases the band’s sharpest edges in a way that feels both powerful and rather sentimental.
IV already stands as what may be the band’s heaviest and most emotionally charged work to date, an approach that perfectly complements both their musicianship and artistic vision. With this kind of weight and intensity in mind, the album moves with a natural, fluid progression, unfolding as a cohesive and immersive listen from start to finish.
The release comes through a partnership between Dunk!Records in Europe and A Thousand Arms in the US.
