Vänlighet – was the first song Agitator put together for the new album – Året av sex. An incredible band performance and lyrics written with a more well-sharpened pen than ever. Lyricist Felix had just begun to appreciate Morrisey as a lyricist, which opened the door to the fact that there is an end in itself in trying to write the meanest song ever, something he had unconsciously been doing for many years but finally got to verbalize. It is a thousand times nicer to be mean in a text with only God as a witness than to be mean in reality.

With two albums released — and a third on the way — in under two years, Agitator’s pace is as furious as their live shows. Surprisingly, the upcoming “Året av sex” is their darkest and slowest album yet, influenced by chanting witch doctors and electronic avant-garde music. Recorded partly in a barn on the island of Öland, with drums augmented or replaced by scrap metal found in a nearby bay, the album thrives on contrast. Bold and self-assured, it expands the idea of what a rock band can be in 2026 and cements Agitator as a truly significant force.

“Livsvärk” reflects on time passed and who we were at the dawn of adulthood — the quiet grief over missed chances, intertwined with the comfort of growing older and finding peace within yourself. It captures the ever-present feeling of not quite fitting in, and the inability to pinpoint exactly why. At its core, the album is a tribute to life itself, and an acknowledgment that a life without pain may offer less than one shaped by hardship, survived, and ultimately transformed into strength.

After spending far too long with my head bowed, I finally came back to life and poured everything I felt into one song after another. And then, one day, it stopped. Suddenly. It was as if the words had vanished, as if everything that needed to be written down had already made its way out.
