Agusa.

I was never a big fan of Metric in their mid 00s heyday and that hasn't really changed over time, and this is certainly a pleasent and upbeat but fairly predictable modern synth number. The other seems like an odd choice for a solo track tournament but I guess I find it a bit more musically engaging so I'll go with Agusa, without much enthusiasm.

Now Or Never Now hasn't grown on me since its nomination in the 2018 tournament. It sounds nice enough, but the whole song builds up to no real payoff, which is frustrating. It's begging for an anthemic chorus that never arrives. Its opponent is engaging and interesting prog that gets my vote.

Damn that Agusa track was cool. Psychedelic, prog and fun, maybe could've been a tad shorter. Metric track was pretty nice. Vote for Landet Längesen in the end.
