4
Dungen’s fourth studio album extends the acclaimed Swedish outfit’s sound past psychedelia into something far more rare. Moving beyond mere stylistic concerns, 4 finds mainman Gustav Ejstes’ focus on the extremes of Dungen’s sound separating into two entities. Blazing, raw guitar workouts have their own time and place, but now, so do stirringly orchestrated, jazz-cooled compositions with cinematic undertones.
Overseas press has been unanimous in its acclaim for this new album, presented here in a handsome digipak. “..an extraordinary, floating jazz-tinged psychedelia that’s as pastoral as it’s cosmic: the earthbound meets the sky-scraping.” - MOJO. “….constantly questing without ever becoming indulgent, 4 is intoxicating”- UNCUT. ”much of 4 feels like beautifully baroque soundtrack music” - SPIN.
