Review

Spin (p.106) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "On Dungen's fifth studio set, mastermind Gustav Ejstes downplays chaotic crunch for mellower, piano-led jams verging on jazz fusion."
Alternative Press (p.162) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "This time around, bandleader Gustav Ejstes ditches his guitar to focus on piano, making 4 decidedly loungier than its predecessors..."
Magnet (p.102) - "4 features understated guitar jams that wouldn't sound out of place on the Allmans' AT FILLMORE EAST....[With] glowing melodies you'll sing along to even thought the lyrics are in Swedish..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.118) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[M]ainman Gustav Ejstes has created a floating jazz-tinged psychedelia as pastoral as it is cosmic. Rippling pianos gently ebb and flow while spiky fuzz guitar arpeggios puncture the foggy atmosphere."
Blender (Magazine) (p.79) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he echo-chamber soup of flute trills, infinitely cascading drums and fuzz-ball stoner riffs does seep into your head and expand the contents."
Paste (magazine) (p.57) - "What's most surprising about this set is its stylistic range, encompassing the lunar soundscapes of Sigur Ros, the groove-based jazz of Weather Report, mutated bossa nova and Eno-esque ambience..."

Title Note

Dungen: Gustav Ejsted.

Dungen is largely the brainchild of Swedish studio rat and multi instrumentalist Gustav Ejestes, who has used his finely honed producer's acumen and unerring nose for vintage sounds to create some of the most compelling rock albums to emerge from Europe in the 21st century. Since first gaining the attention with the multi-hued but hard nosed psychedelic rock of 2004's TA DET LUNGT, Ejestes has been painstakingly refining Dungen's sound, and opening the group to the contributions of other notable musicians.

The succinctly titled 4 draws from the baroque psychedelia that informed Dungen's early work, including such `60s touchstones as the Zombies and The PrettyThings, but also exhibits a restless creativity that allows for the absorption of more esoteric influences. The frantic improvisations of "Samtidigt 1" and "Samtidigt 2" recall the droning, jam band aesthetic of Kraut Rock acts like Amon Duul, while the careful harmonies of "Ingenting Ar Sig Likt" evoke the hippie idealism of David Crosby's IF I COULD ONLY REMEMBER MY NAME. 4, like the majority of Dungen's output, succeeds in presenting a compelling amalgamation of influences without sacrificing musical intensity or originality.
