MAG is the solo project of Magdalena Ågren and still a well-kept Gothenburg secret, who every now and then leaves the Swedish underworld and pops up at different alternative festivals and venues magnetizing Europe’s underground scene.
With her long tentacles forward and backward in time she enters the stage and performs demonically blaring megaphone vocals, seductively trombone melodies, drum machine slams, and rabbitsyntezis terror noises, creating a permissive world to marvel at.
MAG enchants the audience with her distorted punk trombone pop. Her second album En Fis I Rymden was released 2 dec 2022 on the Gothenburg indie label Surplus Recordings.
The album manages to be powerfully personal yet privately political at the same time as we dance our way through the beats with our wagging tails.
The new album is entirely in Swedish and the title would literally be translated into “a fart in space” which is a Swedish idiom equivalent to “a drop in the ocean”.
Magdalena Ågren also currently plays in three other band projects, SORK and Trapped in a Loop and BADA.
In Rabbit/Duck, MAG presents a live music/performance with featuring Hanna Östergren on percussion (Träden, Hills, Laughing eye etc.)
