Initiates is a project from Swedish post-punk act Holograms’ (Captured Tracks) Andreas Lagerström, taking inspiration from shoegaze and ‘90s alternative rock with loud distorted guitar textures and dreamy melodies. Joining Lagerström is Oliver Brink on guitars, Joakim Andersson (ex Maim, ex Morbus Chron) on bass and Adam Hansson (Kerosene Kream, Caligulas Mamma) on drums, with Lagerström handling vocals and guitars. For their debut LP (released 2020) the band teamed up with producer Martin “Konie” Ehrencrona (ex Vi**ra Boys, ex Les Big Byrd) for a 26 minute long collection of nineties infused alt-rock, complete with Lagerström’s signature vocals.
