Dungen
Skit i Allt
Subliminal Sounds 61 – re-issue LP
In what felt like a very short decade, Swedens Dungen has mutated at a furious pace. Main man/ producer/ arranger/ singer/ golden child Gustav Ejstess lone constant has been change. Take the leap from Dungens self-titled 2001 debut, featuring long psilocybic exploratory tracks of aural tomfoolery, to next years Stadsvandringar, which found Ejstes coming to grips with the language of rock. It all converged with the zeitgeist that is Dungens third album, Ta Det Lugt, an album that ignited the blogosphere so that it glowed like the aurora borealis. Not content to revel in such accolades, Tio Bitar flashed the bands pop smarts as well as their incandescent freakouts while 4 put the bands cohesiveness on display, at once gorgeous and biting.
For those who dont have their English-Svenska Dictionary close at hand when plunking/ popping/ importing Dungens sixth album Skit I Allt into their respective LP/CD/ MP3 listening devices, lets make sure the title doesnt get lost in translation: Fuck All. Really? Should we be expecting a nihilistic punk album? For me, it means Dont give a shit, forget about it, just go ahead and do it, laughs Ejstes. Skit I Allt is about a certain feeling: youre with your friends and mates, all hanging out till 6 in the morning. Youre the last one left at the party and you call this person that you want to be with. Theyre asleep, but they still say, Ah, fuck it, come over. Its that feeling.
Just dont think that with Skit I Allt the band is reducible to any one feeling. Or musical genre. At ease with effervescent pop, third-eye popping psychedelia, heavy rock, spider-web folk and breezy jazz, Dungens dynamism astounds throughout. 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. They take the songs somewhere else.
