...according to our Dave on 26 August 2010.
I'm really feeling this album. It's well prog!! It flounces about all over the place like an 17th century fop. It has sterling musicianship, and more space-mysticism then you could shake a lightsabre at. I reckon it doffs a massive wizards hat to the Canterbury sound, as it has many pastoral segues and haunting acoustics. Then the next moment it will be mounting a jet black steed of progressive rock power and galloping into the war of hearts. It sounds like it was recorded in another time, before people had two eyes, and the moon was young and you were even younger. The protagonists play all manner of instruments really well, so there's none of that Jack of all trades, master of none shite. It's really good and spending 55 minutes in there mystical company was a real joy! A massive piece of fanfuckingtastic pie!!
Sweden's Dungen return with a collection of gorgeous, dreamlike melodies, psychedelic stonkers and graceful, jazz-filled polyrhythms. called Skit I Allt. In what feels like a very short decade, Sweden's Dungen has mutated at a furious pace. Main man/ producer/ arranger/ singer/ golden child Gustav Ejstes's lone constant has been change. At ease with effervescent pop, third-eye popping psychedelia, heavy rock, spider-web folk and breezy jazz, Dungen's dynamism astounds throughout Skit I Allt . Rather than remain only Ejstes' studio vision, Dungen is a muscular full band now. Guitarist Reine Fiske, bassist Mattias Gustavsson, and drummer Johan Holmegard are fully integrated into Ejstes' vision of Dungen: "Whether you perceive Dungen as a band or as me and my songs and my productions, the band is something totally free." I feel [the presence of the band] more than ever, because even if I am a total control freak they all contribute something unique make the songs come alive." Dungen debuted in 2001 with an eponymous album of long psilocybic tracks and aural tomfoolery. The next year's Stadsvandringar found Ejstes coming to grips with the language of rock before the zeitgeist-grabbing third album, Ta Det Lugt ignited the blogosphere so that it glowed like the aurora borealis. Not content to revel in such accolades, Tio Bitar flashed the band's pop smarts as well as their incandescent freakouts while 4 put the band's cohesiveness on display, at once gorgeous and biting. This latest album is the one that takes in everything they've done, and learned, and brings them to a whole.
