Summary: Sick
Comment: I don't understand how this band continues to make the most genuinely great psychedelic revivalist music and still seems relatively unnoticed. This album is more of the same gorgeously grungy, heady, intricately structured and virtuously played psych that could have arisen from the most acid filled sweat cloud at woodstock - if the festival had been a Swedish affair. Like a loosely jazzed up version of Zep's more progressive stuff...kinda. Just buy this album. Gustav Ejstes is the most criminally unappreciated complete package in indierock today (if Dungen can even be said to operate in that realm), as he writes, performs, and records pretty much everything you hear on their albums. And if you ask me his records seem more like an incentive to learn the Swedish language. Much in the same way that it works for Sigur Ros, the fact that I have no idea what hes saying probably makes their records more enjoyable allowing his voice to remain as another instrumental layer rather than bare the potential burden of having him sing at me about love or magic or who knows what hes talking about. Any fans of Sigur Ros or Radiohead, Jimi, Zep, Jefferson Airplane, the Dead, jazz, Swedes, smoking pot, drugs in general, hope and freedom, or looking to have a good time will eat this up.

Summary: music for your "den"
Comment: Dungen 4 is what I want to hear if I ever go to a late night "coffee" shop in Amsterdam. Intoxicating Swedish psych rockers orbiting planet Opium. I haven't the foggiest idea what they're singing, but only half the songs have lyrics anyway. Sounds like it could've been recorded in 1968 and that's fine by me. A very warm, almost cloudy production. Overall pretty mellow except for a few well placed not giving a sh!!t guitar freakout jams. The piano played by mastermind Gustav Ejstes floats throughout the record, but knows when to lay back for some strings, a little flute or the afformentioned shredding. Basically if you took the spacey, introspective segues out of their 2004 album Ta Det Lugnt and made an album, this'd be it.
Oh and one last thing, samidigit 2 must be Swedish for dark star.

Summary: If you're a fan get it.
Comment: so just finished my 3rd listen. I really dig this record. I've been a fan since Ta det Lungt. I wasn't nearly as impressed with the follow to that record because of all the endless go nowhere jamming that took place. I'm a huge fan of structure. Well with 4 dungen has delivered a bit more polished and structured piece of work while still allowing for some spaced out improvs and unpredictable turns and they still maintain classic old school 60's psych analog sound. This album is a bit more mellow than previous ones and was also recorded with fellow band mates which is a first for this band as far as i'm aware of. Gustav is mainly playing piano while the rest of the band plays their respective instrument. I think this is a great progression to the band and probably helped with the overall structured sound of the record. So all fans of this band should get this album. You'll enjoy it. And if you haven't heard these guys before still buy this record as well as Ta det lungt.
