Dungen biography

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

 Dungen are an excellent psychedelic rock band with influences from indie, progressive rock, and Swedish folk music. Ta Det Lugnt, their finest album, brought them much popularity and acclaim from the indie rock scene. It was recordley soley by Gustav Ejstes and is considering by many a masterpiece. The two albums that followed, while worthwhile, simply do not live up to the peak that was Ta Det Lugnt. The lyrics are all in Swedish but they are sung with such conviction and emotion that it works perfectly.

Dungen make an excellent addition to the Prog Archives becuase they contain the signature elements of prog: jazz and classical influences as well as non-conventional song structures. They would appeal to fans of classical psychedelia and prog folk. They are also very accessible, since their music is packed with great melodies and isn't self idulgent at all.

I haven't read that many biographies on the site so I'm not completely familiar with the guidelines, but this bit of text seems awfully review-like to me. I would expect some kind of unbiased approach, not proclaiming one album superior to anything else and (at least so it seems to me) insinuating that Swedish lyrics would be a bad thing if they weren't sung with such conviction and emotion. There are also a couple of typos worth fixing.

Is something like this generally ok to report?
