In the label's official statement, we can read how they present themselves: "“Out of a great lust to encounter the unknown and to explore the boundless in us this record/work came about, in the hands of The High Spirit Rebel. We wish this may serve as great entertainment, a bad enemy, an instrument and a match. Enter! Step in!”
PÅGÅ is described by Kvohst (of Grave Pleasures, Hexvessel, and Svart Records) as “Post-Punk freakery, like Birthday Party era Cave, avant-garde Bowie and the darkness of Coil with unique artistic flair that’s in a world of its own.”
Sounds absolutely intriguing and it is certainly something we'll be looking forward to!
The striking cover artwork, as most of us probably can guess by the distinctive style, is made by Pelle, and the layout was curated by Erik Danielsson.
The tracklist appears to be as follows:

The song "Enter" has been chosen as track premiere from their debut and an official video, made by Gottfrid Åhman (with editing assistance by Svante Pihl ) can already be streamed on Svart Records' YouTube channel:
