Although some people consider their music to be politically green and leftish, they have stated on their website that "Svenska Akademien doesn't have its own ideology, or some kind of manifest approved by its members."

On 1 February 2013 it was announced that Svenska Akademien would make a comeback, with an upcoming album and new tour dates.
