Gösta Berlings Saga

Gösta Berlings Saga - obviously drawing their name from the Nobel Prize laureate Selma Lagerlöf's 1891 novel (and/or the 1924 classic silent movie by the same name) - are a Swedish, experimental / progressive, instrumental rock band originating from Stockholm suburb Vällingby, where the the duo Pelikaan, consisting of Alexander Ship on drums and David Lundberg on organ, started playing around 2000, reputedly inspired by the late 1960's, Swedish jazz rock duo [a601593]. As such, they recorded a demo (that also gave name to their own Studio Pelikaan). In 2004, the band expanded to a four- or five-piece outfit, drawing from a far wider range of influences, referencing Samla Mammas Manna, [a70828] and RIO / Zeuhl genres.
