Alpenhorns of acid: Swedish psych-rock’s Dungen


Swedish psychedelic rock group Dungen are prepping their sixth album, Skit I Allt for release next week and coming to Minneapolis next month.

I’m a big fan of this band. I saw Dungen live in 2005 and 2007 and just revel in their sound.

With a diverse repertoire segueing from wonder-lush ballads to catchy pop to progged-out psychedelia, watching Dungen’s live set is like sucking down an alpenhorn of acid, eating a full plate of Ikea meatballs, and heading up to Buck Hill to intermittently gaze at the Milky Way and watch the car pile-ups on 35W.

Here’s one of the more restrained tracks off the new album:

MP3: Dungen – “Marken Låg Stilla”

Dungen play Minneapolis’ Triple Rock Social Club on October 6.

    Yes! I saw on Sunday that they’ll be at the Triple Rock. I will definitely be there. The 2008 show at the 400 Bar was terrific. West Bank represent!
