Album Review: En Är För Mycket och Tusen Aldrig Nog by Dungen
Excellent, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 8/10
Purveyors of uniquely Swedish psychedelia and perennial prog darlings Dungen have returned with their first studio album proper since 2015's Allas Sak. A delicious detour into re-scoring with Haxan, designed to complement the 1926 fairy tale film The Adventures of Prince Achmed, kept fans' attention drawn to Gustav Ejstes' Stockholm sweethearts in the interim. This new album, in title at least, perhaps takes its cue from the Middle Eastern collection of folk tales, One Thousand and One Nights, which inspired the aforementioned film.
Opinion: Fairly Good
Photo by Tomi Palsa En Är För Mycket och Tusen Aldrig Nog by Dungen Sweden's Dungen have always rendered their musical adventures accessible by virtue of front man Gustav Ejstes's uncanny melodic sensibility. As wild and woolly as their jams can get, Ejstes is a pop composer at heart, with many of his more succinct songs sharing a vivid and direct approach with Paul McCartney. Even though he's singing in Swedish, his vocal parts resonate as they're sung so stridently.
