Description
Finally, Sweden's biggest electro/post punk act is back with new material.
'Jack Vegas' is the sixth album by Swedish electro/post punk outfit Agent Side Grinder. It marks the band's first exploration of American culture, drawing heavily on the beatnik-era works of Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs, as well as the proto-punk and avantgarde movements - while maintaining a contemporary storytelling perspective.
The American dream becomes a symbol for escape from a Europe ravaged by pandemics, war and financial instability. Lyrical themes revolve around boredom, resilience, government and corporate intrusion, and mental health - with the occasional glimmer of light. It's a drum machine-driven road movie, plotting its course through the desperate heart of rural Sweden.
The album has been produced by former ASG member Henrik Sunbring, and recorded in Stockholm during 2022. Genre-wise Agent Side Grinder has always existed in some kind of twilight zone. Deeply rooted in early electronic and industrial music as well as proto- and post punk, their sound is driven by iterative, suggestive beats and sudden bursts of untamed ferocity, built on equal parts dissonant samples and elegant melodies.
The name 'Jack Vegas' is derived from a Swedish chain of low-stakes slot machines.
