They announced it a few years ago,had a couple of tracks written but never released them.
Looks like they'll finally be getting released but how relevant will they be after all this time ?

Ordered the vinyl, kids (11&9) are happy as am I

1 of the new 2 songs ain't bad
Not sure on the touring idea though.

Registered for early ticket release. Got to give it a go as a massive fan when younger.

hmmm interesting and interested

Liking what I've heard so far. Hopefully the unique sounding Yamaha GX-1 synthesizer will feature in some of the songs. This was an essential part of their sonic DNA for me.

Bass playing on the track ‘one of us’ is pure bliss. Just saying, as you were.

The late and very great Rutger Gunnarsson. His bass work with ABBA was incredible.

Never really been a fan, but will admit I've not listened beyond the obvious wedding disco anthems. Think I may need to fire up Spotify and make time to give ABBA a proper go with an open mind.

'Eagle', the long version. Class.

Spectacular. This is the ABBA track that captured my imagination when I was a kid and my parents were playing their records. Also, "The Day Before You Came". Fantastic.

I grew up with ABBA's songs somehow I knew nothing of their new material..last Friday I saw this on Youtube...to say I was shocked would be an understatment...its simply outstanding.

The brilliant thing about that song, it's a love song played in a minor key so it sounds so melancholic. Absolute genius!

My favourite part is the outro keyboard! Just fantastic.

Not a great ABBA fan, though I have to say they’re a bit like Elton John (in a good way) in that all their songs are very good, there aren’t any I can’t stand. We’ll just ignore EJ’s Diana candle pukefest as an anomaly.

Heard a couple of the new songs on the radio a week or so back and knew immediately it was them. Sounded modern and sort of 70s at the same time, pretty impressive really.
