Dungen - En Är För Mycket Och Tusen Aldrig Nog '2022

Tracks list

       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
he’s lauded as one of the sharpest and most adventurous musicians in
psychedelic music since 2004’s breakthrough Ta det lungt, for Ejstes
psych has always been only a starting point. Or maybe it’s something more
like an ethos—psych 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 2016’s Häxan and the
first proper Dungen studio album since Allas Sak was released in 2015. If
we’re thinking of psych-rock as a genre, with its readymade
tropes—fuzz guitars, shimmering harmonies, pastoral
textures—it’s possibly the least psychedelic record Ejstes has
ever made. But if psych is really about transcending what’s 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 he’s trying not to wake someone in the
next room.
