Dungen on Aquarium Drunkard

man this is so good. i've never heard Dungen sing in English before, and it sounds a bit strange. i am actually kinda bummed that i'll be in London during the time they play The Sinclair next week.

I enjoyed that.  Thanks for posting.  I don't believe I've ever heard them sing in English, either. Closest I've come to that is the bass player's side project, Life on Earth, which is a band that is well worth checking out if you like Dungen.

The Amazing also sing in English, and Reine plays guitar w/ them. I do have that Life On Earth record, and should pull it off the shelves tonight.

 

you know what compilation is just totally great? This one:

I didn't know about the Amazing.  I'll check them out. And that comp looks interesting, too. Thanks for the recommendations.

 

There are two Life on Earth records now. I've only heard the second one once, but it was good,  A bit more improvisational than the first one if memory serves.

the comp is comprised of pretty rare/hard to find 70s Swedish prog/psych bands... Reine (Dungen gtr) i think works pretty closely w/ Subliminal Sounds, who have an outstanding track record in reissuing those sorts of bands, as well as current stuff too.

if i had a time machine i'd be OK w/ Stockholm, 1974.

 

 

this song is so, so awesome.
