HASSE FRÖBERG & MUSICAL COMPANION To Release Sophomore Album
February 17, 2012, 12 years ago
Much to the excitement of the progressive rock community around the world, legendary THE FLOWER KINGS vocalist Hasse Fröberg and his group Musical Companion are releasing a new album.
Powerplay is the second album by Swedish prog rockers HASSE FRÖBERG & MUSICAL COMPANION. About a year after the release of their critically highly acclaimed debut, Futurepast (2010), the band entered the studio to cut the backing tracks for Powerplay.
The line-up of the band is still the same, Hasse Fröberg & Musical Companion:
Hasse Fröberg: Lead vocals, rhythm guitar
Anton Lindsjö: Lead guitar, backing vocals
Kjell Haraldsson: Keyboards, backing vocals
Thomsson: Bass, backing vocals
Ola Strandberg: Drums, backing vocals
As sound engineer on Powerplay, the band has chosen to work with Tomas Bodin. He’s a collegue with Hasse in the established and influential prog band The Flower Kings. The collaboration proved to work out just fine and even if Hasse likes to be in the studio, he prefers the live scene: “Playing live is definitely the right element for us. I really can’t wait to take The Musical Companion and and the songs on Powerplay on the road”.
The new album will be released on April 23rd. More on the band at this location.
