Hot Now
Dungen is the work of Gustav Ejstes, a talented young Swedish multi-instrumentalist. Dungen's third album, Ta Det Lugnt (which translates roughly to "Take It Easy"), made its way to the United States via Kemado Records to remarkable reviews throughout the indie rock community. The excitement surrounding Dungen was spurred on by fantastic live shows and appearances on late night television shows. Ta Det Lugnt is a fresh, vibrant mix of psychedelic folk with touches of Beatlesque songwriting and elements of prog rock - with all of the songs sung in Swedish. The sound is definitely a throwback to 1960's- 70's rock with a hippy vibe and even hints of free jazz. Swedish record label Subliminal Sounds has released Dungen albums abroad, receiving attention in the Swedish media, and Dolores/Virgin Records worked with the group for the release of three singles. The musical trip that is Dungen will certainly continue on with heavy touring throughout the U.S. —JB |
