En r Fr Mycket och Tusen Aldrig Nog

Description

Gustav Ejstes has always been on his way to someplace else. The Swedish musician has been making records as Dungen for two decades now, and while hes lauded as one of the sharpest and most adventurous musicians in psychedelic music since 2004s breakthrough Ta det lungt, for Ejstes psych has always been only a starting point. Or maybe its something more like an ethospsych with its promise of exploration, the way it prioritizes seeking out new sounds, of leaving the old self behind, of setting into the ether to see what else might be out there. En Är För Mycket och Tusen Aldrig Nog (One is Too Much and a Thousand is Never Enough) is the first Dungen record since 2016s Häxan and the first proper Dungen studio album since Allas Sak was released in 2015. If were thinking of psych-rock as a genre, with its readymade tropesfuzz guitars, shimmering harmonies, pastoral texturesits possibly the least psychedelic record Ejstes has ever made. But if psych is really about transcending whats come before in favor of new ways of seeing and hearing, then the opposite is true. And that means En Är För Mycket och Tusen Aldrig Nog goes further out than any Dungen record before it. There are classic psych rave-ups, of course, and the kind of brilliant vocal harmonies Ejstes has long made his trademark. There are soft, shuffling grooves that transform into wide-eyed cosmic revelations. There are intimate songs guided by Ejstes and his piano, which he plays so gently it sounds like hes trying not to wake someone in the next room.
