Sista Maj to Release Localized Pockets of Negative Entropy on Adansonia Records

sista maj

Adansonia Records has put out word that it will issue the new album from Swedish progressive instrumentalists Sista Maj, dubbed Localized Pockets of Negative Entropy — it’s bodies, us, humans, in case you were wondering — on LP next month. Space Rock Productions also released a CD of the band’s last album, the late-2016 double-disc Series of Nested Universes, and they may have a CD version of Localized Pockets of Negative Entropy as well, or there might not be one at all, but Adansonia‘s vinyl has the added appeal of two bonus tracks exclusive to it that aren’t available digitally.

Speaking of digitally, Sista Maj put the album out on their own last month via Bandcamp and you can stream it in its entirety — bonus tracks aside, of course — on the player below.

We have new partners from Sweden’s capital + + + Sista Maj + + +

Their current album “Localized Pockets of Negative Entropy” will be out soon on Adansonia Records.

Sista Maj started as a trio: Andreas Axelsson on drums, Mikael Tuominen on bass and other stuff, Jonathan Segel on guitar, violin and some other musical stuff. Instrumental hypnotic intense psychedelic space rock in the great Northern European tradition, which ranges from Krautrock to the Swedish progg. The band usually came together to improvise, and sometimes they take those improvisations and re-work them. In 2017 Per Wiberg joined the band with his keyboards. Their latest release, “Localized Pockets of Negative Entropy” includes all four of them and a bit of Mattias Olsson (Änglagård, Pineforest Crunch, Necromonkey, etc.) as well.

Sista Maj – from left to right:
Jonathan Segel moved from the US to Sweden in 2012, he lives in Stockholm and has hooked up with several musicians there, including this grouping. He records and performs music under his own name, and continues to play and record with Camper Van Beethoven (mostly in the US) and the Øresund Space Collective (mostly in the EU). Andreas Axelsson is in several bands (Eye Make the Horizon, Lisa Ullén, AAM, etc.). Mikael Tuominen is as well (Kungens Män, Automatism, Fanatism, Eye Make the Horizon) and they’re all amazing. Per Wiberg joined us in 2017 to play keyboards, opening up their sound to new territories, another veteran of many bands including Opeth, Spiritual Beggars and Kamchatka.

The album will be released in mid-December as a DLP and includes two bonus tracks which will be only available on vinyl. Detailed infos coming soon.

Sista Maj is:
Andreas Axelsson: drums
Jonathan Segel: guitar, violin
Mikael Tuominen: bass
Per Wiberg: keyboards
