We took a break in the spring of 1982 and now we’ve decided it’s time to come back. It’s crazy to release an album with a gap of 40 years, so we recorded a sequel to “The Visitors.” how our digital EU is performing our songs on stage, which will be built in London next spring specifically for that purpose. It’s weird and wonderful! “

Agnet and I know that they are also very happy that we have done it – recorded this album. “

Anni-Frida Lingstad continues: “Those first sessions in 2018 were so much fun. When Benny called and asked if I was considering singing any more songs, I gladly agreed! And what were those songs !! All my respect and love for these to the extremely talented, truly ingenious songwriters! It was a great pleasure to work with the band again. I am very pleased with what we have done and I hope our fans feel the same way. “

Annotated Feltskūga adds: “When we got together again in the studio, I had no idea what to expect… But Benny’s recording studio is such a friendly and safe environment, and without realizing it, I really enjoyed what was going on around me! I can’t believe it’s finally come a moment to share it with the world! ”

Björn Ulveuss concludes: “Now we have ten songs – a whole album called” Voyage “, because it has been a journey to an unconscious territory … It had to be with the vocal combination of Frieda and Angne to become this unique sound – when her started singing, it was ABBA. “
