When I first heard the name Dungen I was somewhat delay thinking that these men could be some sort of ridiculous death metal band but it turns out Dungen is actually Swedish for the Grove.

Dungen is mainly the work of artist and multiple instrumentalist Gustav Ejstes who produces all of Dun...

The newest recording from Swedish psychedelic rockers Dungen is Tio Bitar which is set to be officially introduced in Might of this year, 2007. This is their first album since 2004s T-a Det Lugnt.

When I first heard the name Dungen I was a bit delay convinced that these men could be some kind of ridiculous death metal band but it turns out Dungen is really Swedish for the Grove.

Dungen is certainly caused by the work of musician and multiple instrumentalist Gustav Ejstes who produces each of Dungens music and records many important pieces himself.

Dungens tracks have an analog sound for them. Very warm and inviting. Their music sounds very living is very re-freshing in the digital age. That being said I dont think its fair to simply move Dungen as retro psychedelic stone because theres a genuine experience of invention and originality for their music also sung in Swedish.

Like a big fan of Dungens last recording I was very excited to hear this new release upon its early leak.

Tio Bitar begins with a course that's named simply Intro and this song hits such as an absolute lot of stones with an agonizing guitar solo that comes close to melting time itself. One of the greatest record openers Ive heard in quite some time. If you are in any type of daze it forces you to attention. The flute with plenty of delay is a good effect when theres nothing left to burn to drop into the course. A beautiful instance of psychedelic rock. This is an instrumental monitor as theres really no room left for vocals because of all of the rock that takes up all of the available space.

The recording does not have any songs for me but among the stand outs are course #3 Gor Det Nu which goes back and forth from strong rock to some sort of half time appearing chorus. Theres an excellent combination of extreme guitar stone with very simple keyboard sounds in this track (and in a lot of the others on the album.) I havent spoken a lot of the vocals yet and I'd say in contrast to the outstanding music that the vocals do seem to get lost somewhat in the combination but there are some beautiful besmetting legionella harmonies and it doesnt really trouble me that the vocals are all-in Swedish. Maybe not being able to understand the words contributes to the otherworldly sense of-the music.

Dungen also offers a side as shown in course #4, the critical C Visar Vagen, which is a very lovely piece with beautiful acoustic guitar, strings, wood, and flutes. This track has a bit of an Indian feel to it though its simple. To me it surely seems like an original melding together of many different influences.

Track number 6 Mon Amour will be the standout track on the recording. At very nearly 9 minutes its an epic in length but more to the point its an epic in arrangement because it goes to different interesting areas musically. It starts with a really appealing section. Probably the most important Dungen expressive part yet. At about 2 and a-half minutes within the pace begins to increase and a blinding guitar solo will come in for some mind reduction action. I believe Dungen might have one of the most interesting guitar solos being recorded today. They are both very interesting musically and sonically. These arent guitar solos for your guitar geek types who get Joe Satriani documents. This is a journey for all those that like music that actually takes them anywhere. This really is music that's exceedingly psychedelic.

To really make the very lazy assessment sound and the guitar work is very Hendrix-esque and you dont get lots of people that will pull this type of guitar pursuit without it only looking ridiculous or retro. In my experience this music comes alive. Its a journey and you are able to just take the journey if youd like. Positively magical.

As much as I liked Dungens last album, I think this new album blows it out of the water. This really is my early favorite for recording of the year.
