With two albums – and soon a third – in less than two years, Agitator are as furious in their release tempo as the band is on stage. More surprising then that the upcoming album “Året av sex” is the darkest and slowest they have made – influenced by chanting witch doctors as well as electronic avant-garde music. With a soundscape based on contrasts, partly captured in a barn on Öland, where the drum kit is supplemented and sometimes replaced by scrap found in a nearby bay, Agitator expands the image of what both the creative process and a rock band in 2026 can be. The result is daring, self-confident and an album that cements the image that Agitator is something big and important.

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.
