In 2004 I slobbered over Dungen's Ta Det Lugnt, but none of Gustav Ejstes & Co's earlier (Dungen, Stadsvandringar) or subsequent (Tio Bitar, 4) slabs of Swedish psych have hit me the same way or felt as important. Here's hoping for a swift kick/return to mid-oeuvre form via sixth album Skit I All (promisingly translated “Fuck All”). Closer "Marken Låg Stilla" is a spacious lazy-day pastoral.
Skit I All:
01 "Vara Snabb"
02 "Min Enda Vän"
03 "Brallor"
04 "Soda"
05 "Högdalstoppen"
06 "Skit I Allt"
07 "Barnen Undrar"
08 "Blandband"
09 "Nästa Sommar"
10 "Marken Låg Stilla"
Skit I Allt is out 9/14 via Mexican Summer in North America and Subliminal Sounds elsewhere. They'll be in North American this fall:
