The fifth album from this band from Sweden.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, piano, keyboards, organ, moog and vocals.
A guest added saxophone on one of the tracks.
I reviewed their first four albums back in 2018 for # 2 of this blog.
Himlabacken Vol 1 was a good album with their mix of rock, folk rock and Swedish symphonic prog.
It should not come as a big surprise that the band continues down the same road on Vol 2. Add some psych rock too and you get it. These days version of Kaipa springs to mind... no, not their fusion album. The albums before that again.
The band has always had this sweet, sugary sound. The same goes for this album too. Besides of that, this seventy minutes long album is very complex and multi-layered.
The vocals are good and the album has this Swedish symphonic prog sound. It is also a good album and one well worth checking out.
