Band of the Month: September
I wasn’t prepared for that amount of awesome, that’s all I can say. There I was, sitting in that beautiful house where memories are born, for the first time listening to Dungen.
Ladies and Gentlemen: Dunyeen!
Anyway so I was taken aback to say the least, as my encumbered soul was relieved from yet another biased thought. I practically lived for the notion that, except for Vreeswijk, there existed no one within the history of mankind able to do ANYTHING good or even decent in Swedish.
And so I was proven wrong. Just likethe hippity hop.
I am not in any way the one to talk about musical technicalities, and so I skip right onto the awesomeness at hand. Let’s just leave it for now, accepting that it is awesome beyond measure.
The lyrics, though. And the way Gustav sings them. Jesus Christ, I’ve never found naivety so beautiful before, and that’s from a guy who really does find naivety beautiful. It’s not, however, ignorant bliss, but rather a state of double-thought madness. A symbol for dreams and visions, if you will.
Let’s not make this longer than it has to be, Dungen is a great fucking band and they very well deserve their time in the spotlight. Best part is, I’m gonna see ‘em :D
Candidates: The Beatles- GZA- Led Zeppelin- Tame Impala
