Album Notes & Community Reviews

Often referred to as 'the Swedish Beatles', Tages reached their creative zenith with 'Contrast'. Embracing the studio as an instrument, the album is heavily infused with psychedelic textures, traditional Swedish folk melodies, and dense vocal harmonies. The record successfully positioned them as one of Scandinavia's most adventurous and sophisticated pop groups of the era.
