Q&A with Hans Lundin on the new Kaipa album "Sommargryningsljus" (The Prog Report)
Sweden-borne folkloric progressive rock band Kaipa proudly announce their new album Sommargryningsljus. 49 years after the release of their debut album, the band is set to reveal the 15th longplayer of their musical journey, Sommargryningsljus, which will be released via InsideOutMusic on June 28th, 2024. Here, band leader and keyboardist Hans Lundin answers some questions about the new album.
San Michael’s reissue coincides purposefully with the launch of Kaipa’s 15th studio album, ‘Sommargryningsljus,’ which explores themes of existential rejuvenation in maturity. These essential albums – the eponymous 1971 debut and 1972’s ‘Nattåg’ – epitomize Scandinavian psych/prog excellence, encapsulating Kaipa’s evolution toward a sonic realm fusing Swedish psychedelia with European prog, fueled by Lundin’s dynamic organ mastery.
Kaipa and San Michael's founder Hans Lundin joins The Prog Corner to discuss the reissues of San Michael's two albums on vinyl and Kaipa's brand new album, Sommargryningsljus.

Interview mit Hans Lundin von Kaipa (Bleeding4metal.de)
Was viele Metal-Heads wahrscheinlich weder wissen (wollen) noch großartig interessiert: Keyboarder/Keyboards beziehungsweise von Keyboardern/Keyboards dominierte Truppen. Sind angeblich nix "Metal" - hm ... Ich teile diese Einstellung/Meinung/Sichtweise NICHT, und so war es mir Ehre, Freude und Privileg zugleich, Hans Lundin zu interviewen. Hä, wer ist Hans Lundin? Nun, Hans Lundin ist genau so ein Keyboarder und KAIPA genau so eine (= seine) Truppe. Ich persönlich halte diesen Komponisten, Tastendrücker und Texter für einen der größten noch lebenden Progger auf diesem Planeten und seine Band für die möglicherweise größte schwedische Art-Folk-Fusion-Melodic-Prog-Truppe! Bei meinen Fragen hab' ich versucht, Mr. KAIPA weder abzuschrecken, noch zu langweilen, noch zu nerven! Und los geht's
