Dungen

Well before Kevin Parker began tripping us all out with his stoned odysseys, Stockholm's Dungen were standard-bearers of psych-rock revivalism. On the face of it, Smalltown Supersound appears a leftfield choice, but there's a shared aesthetic here. Like Lindstrøm and Bjørn Toske, Dungen aim to crawl in your ear and bury themselves in your brain with trancey loops and druggy sonics.

There are thumping drum workouts, hazy guitars and languid bass. And there are flutes. Lots of them. On 'Franks Kaktus' they squeal and screech against skirls of powerful blues strumming and thumping congas; things calm down on 'Flickor Och Pojkar' ('boys and girls' in Swedish), whose vibes and languid bass recall classic Air. It ain't half heavy, man.
