Allas Sak (CD)
In 2004, when Dungen released their third and still-greatest LP, Ta Det Lungt, the Swedish quartet was just one good act amid a minor psych-rock renaissance. At the time, a number of bands were finding inspiration in progressive rock from the '60s and '70s and pushing those sounds toward fuzzier and more frantic extremes. This was also the year that Santa Cruz's Comets on Fire released their well-loved record, Blue Cathedral, and around the same time that Dead Meadow, Pearls and Brass, and Boris were putting out some of their best music. Ten years later, a lot of these groups have split up, moved on, or faded from view, but Dungen have proven surprisingly durable, even a bit influential. It's hard to listen to Tame Impala's Innerspeaker and Lonerism without hearing some parallels to the Swedish band, particularly in the sense of rhythm and the doubled upper-register vocal melodies. Allas Sak is Dungen's first release in five years and seventh album overall. Not too much has changed since their last record, 2010's Skit I Allt. Like that album, Allas Sak is split almost evenly between Swedish-language pop songs and instrumentals. And like all preceding Dungen records, it sounds awesome. Led by singer, multi-instrumentalist, and engineer Gustav Ejstes, the band is able to perfectly dial in the organic tones of vintage '60s pop, even when working with computer-based recording software.
