Dungen - Tio Bitar - mp3 review

Hey guys.  Remember me?  I used to fill your mailboxes with useless shit and bitch about stupid things pretty much everyday because I thought none of you would actually read any of it anyway.  Most of you guys already know this, but I’ve decided to dump Insound for another lover.  We talked about it, and its cool and all, I told her how I wasn’t really ready for that ‘next step’ in our relationship and how I didn’t want to hold her back and all.  At first she was upset, and you know, talking about all the hopes she had, all the memories.  We cried together and all, but then she realized that we just want different things in life.  It’s a bitter sweet separation, but a necessary one.  Anyway, I’m going try to continue this email thingy we got going on here.  I’m going to be relying more Andy and Joe (guys?) a lot as I won’t have those stacks of promos to dig through anymore, but I think it’ll still be worth it if you guys are still into it.

Dungen are a Swedish band headed by Gustav Ejstes, who plays most of the instruments on their recordings. Dungen’s eclectic, melodic neo-classicism incorporates aspects of guitar-heavy classic rock, free jazz, swedish folk music, and melodic indie pop. Their third album, Ta det lugnt, was lauded by a somewhat underground audience after its release in 2004 before gaining widespread critical acclaim in “mainstream” press such as the NME, Rolling Stone and Pitchfork Media.   These tracks are from his upcoming release, Tio Bitar, on Kemado (5/15/05).

WARNING: This is some serious pysch rock with extended guitar solos, wah pedals, and busy noel redding style bass lines.  wait, what year is this again.
